A Hidden Life

1/9/2020

1 Comment

 
Based on real events, A HIDDEN LIFE is the story of an unsung hero, Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. When the Austrian peasant farmer is faced with the threat of execution for treason, it is his unwavering faith and his love for his wife Fanni and children that keeps his spirit alive.
                        This is a new release. Check your local cinema for showing dates


Since posting this we have learned that it may be some time before you get to see the film in your area, but keep checking. At the International Chapter in 2017, there was a presentation on Franz Jägerstätter by some people who were working on his cause for sainthood. It was by  all counts a great presentation. He was a Secular Franciscan. Attached are the notes from the CIOFS website. 
The presentation was translated from the German.
