Come to the Movies at the Library!


Library Film Series

The Library Spring 2008 Film Series will present, for its third feature, the film Sophie Scholl: The Final Days on Monday, March 31, at 6:00 p.m., in the Library Classroom, 2nd floor.

Through its simplicity and scrupulous attention to historical detail, Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, based on the true story of young people who chose NOT to be bystanders, is a film that proves to be both thrillingly suspenseful and emotionally devastating. During the peak of the Third Reich, Sophie Scholl, along with her brother Hans and other students in Munich, formed a resistance group called the White Rose and distributed anti-Nazi leaflets. Sophie Scholl begins on a crisp winter day, with Sophie and Hans distributing leaflets around the empty halls of a university before class is let out. The tension only increases as they are arrested, interrogated, and swiftly convicted in a brutal show trial. The heart of the film is in the scenes between Sophie and her interrogator, Robert Mohr, a loyal Nazi who nonetheless respected and perhaps even admired Sophie.

The film will be introduced by Dr. Julie Smith who will also moderate a post-viewing Q & A session.

The last film in this series, Crash, will be shown on Monday, April 28 and moderated by Mr. Drew Tatusko.

Please contact Shamim Rajpar, either at 886-6442, or srajpar@mtaloy.edu, if you need additional information.
