Bonhoeffer: The Cost of Freedom 7


Bonhoeffer: The Cost of Freedom captures the high drama and tense moral conflict of a man at odds between his loyalty to his country and his faith as a Christian. This Peabody award winning story resonates with the conflicts of our own time as Bonhoeffer must work against his fellow churchmen, his closest allies and even his loving family as he fights the compromise of his church and the oppression of the Jews in Hitler’s realm. “I’m grieved by any group of people who are put down or trampled under. I believe that, as a Christian, it is my responsibility to help stop it.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945)
