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.
