Dedicated expressly to the downfall of the monolithic Third Reich war machine, they call themselves the White Rose.

Unwavering in her convictions and loyalty to the White Rose, her cross-examination by the Gestapo quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate call to freedom and personal responsibility.
