Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2007, Franz was largely unknown until a 1964 research project discovered his story.

Insight

Malick spent a decade developing this after finding Jägerstätter's letters, his most personal project since returning from his own 20-year silence.
