Let's be realistic.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Nobel Prize Winner, Gunter Grass, while doing research for a book, discovered the almost forgotten true story of Helmuth Hubener, a German teenager who discovered that the Nazi's were withholding truth from the German people, and had the courage to publish and distribute information he gained from the forbidden BBC broadcasts to as many people as he could. TRUTH & CONVICTION: The Helmuth Hubener Story is a fascinating documentary written & directed by Matt Whitaker that conveys the courage of a young man courageous enough to stand up to a government that could only survive by withholding truth and freedoms from its own citizen's.This documentary include interviews with Helmuth's close friend, who along with another young man, helped him distribute his flyers before they were arrested and imprisoned.The Special Features of this DVD include some very interesting behind-the-scenes interviews that give additional insights into the story and to the detail that went into truthful telling of this inspiring story of courage.This DVD is highly recommended!
