Truth & Treason

''Truth & Treason'' follows a true story set in Germany during World War II. Helmuth Hübener, a 16-year-old boy, grows up in a society where obedience to the Reich is confused with patriotism. He has been raised with a Reich mentality, works as an intern at the Hamburg city hall, and is officially enrolled in the Hitler Youth.

A series of events causes the young man to open his eyes and begin to question his surroundings: the way his church demands maximum loyalty to the Nazi regime or the arrest of his friend Salomon, who is considered Jewish by the racial laws of the time.

Hübener questions what he is forced to say, remain silent about, or listen to. He accesses propaganda files, connects with forbidden foreign broadcasts, and distributes pamphlets with his friends in a growing movement of civic resistance. However, the Gestapo intercepts the messages and decides to investigate who is responsible.

How far is Hübener willing to sacrifice? Should he let himself be defeated by his feeling of being considered a "good German" or resist and do what he believes is right? The tension rises, repression becomes harsher, and betrayal of the regime looms.

''Truth & Treason'' is a powerful portrait of his internal struggle for conscience and courage while horror conditions him. The potential of an ordinary young man to become a symbol of resistance and to fight against repression and the fear of death.
