[appalachiablue]

- (2017). Showing on Netflix through *Feb. 14. .

- An ordinary, middle-aged couple becomes a symbol of defiance & civil disobedience against Nazi brutality.
This true-life tale of courage unfolds against the tumultuous backdrop of Berlin in 1940.

Otto & Anna Quangel (Brendan Gleeson & Emma Thompson) are a working class husband & wife doing their best to ride out the war. In 1940 when their son is killed fighting on the frontlines, however, everything changes. They begin pouring their rage & grief into postcards emblazoned with anti-Nazi slogans, risking everything to distribute their messages of protest across the city.

This seemingly small act of subversion rattles the Nazi regime, including a police inspector (Daniel Brühl) who will not rest until the culprits have been caught. Based on the bestselling novel 'Every Man Dies Alone' (1947) by Hans Fallada, 'Alone in Berlin' is both a gripping thriller and a stirring ode to resistance.
