Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Helmuth Hübener was the youngest person executed by Nazi Germany's Special People's Court—he was 17. His Mormon branch president had him excommunicated post-arrest for 'insurrection,' a decision reversed in 1948.
The Hübener Group's story was suppressed by Mormon leadership for decades; this film arrives as the Church finally confronts its complicated WWII record in Germany.
