The newest film from Angel Studios recounts the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian who opposed his country and church’s embracement of antisemitism in the 1930s and 1940s.

The film, Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin., focuses on Bonhoeffer, portrayed by Jonas Dassler, and his return to Germany after living in the United States. Upon seeing the racial discrimination against the Jewish people spread by then-rising politician Adolf Hitler, Bonhoeffer chooses to take a stand within the German church to oppose Hitler’s influence, eventually getting involved in a failed assassination attempt on the Fuhrer.
