There is a new movie out, "truth and treason. "

It’s coming to my area in October.

Not sure if I will be going to see it or not. It is about a young man in Nazi Germany who prints out folders, criticizing the government.

Supposedly it is based on a true story. I will have to check that out, because sometimes movie makers are very lax about basing movies on a real story. I mean, sometimes they’ll say that, and then it turns out doesn’t have very much to do with whatever really happened.

I know, I know it sounds a lot like real life here in the US Anyone else know anything about this?

Only to find out that the reason for the claim is that they used some of the names in the original story and they reference one thing that happened in the original story, but not in the movie.

That term is about as 'loose' as it gets.

I have not heard about it, but I will look into it now. Thanks!
