A 2019 film by Terrence Malick telling the true story of Franz Jagerstatter, an Austrian Catholic farmer who refused to fight for Nazi Germany and was executed in 1943. The film meditates on conscience, faith, suffering, and the hidden spiritual significance of individual moral resistance.
Offers a profound cinematic meditation on solitary moral conscience against totalitarian evil; portrays the hidden spiritual dignity of obscure suffering, as the title (from George Eliot's Middlemarch) suggests.
