The award winning true story of a popular young girl in a small German town who entered a school essay during the 1970's, writing on what her town did during World War II. What she finds to her surprise and dismay is that the Catholic clergy and businessmen who she was raised to respect and admire, and who she fervently believed defied the Nazi's, did just the opposite.

And, after deciding to write the book on the subject, the more she digs, the more she is thwarted and actually threatened physically by rock throwing and bombs...

Winner of a 1990 BAFTA award for Best Film In A Foreign Language, available for the first time on DVD!
