A Hidden Life Trailer: Spiritual Defiance

A Hidden Life is based on the life of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian conscientious objector during World War II.

Jägerstätter refused to fight for the Nazis and was subsequently executed in 1943 for treason. He was 36 years of age.

A peasant farmer of strong religious faith, Jägerstätter was a husband and father of three girls.

Decades later he was declared a martyr and beatified by the Catholic Church.

German actor August Diehl plays Jägerstätter.

Visionary writer-director Terrence Malick wrote the screenplay basing it on Franz Jägerstätter: Letters and Writings from Prison, which was edited by Erna Putz.

Malick is well known for his particularly poetic style of filmmaking, particularly evident in films such as The Thin Red Line and The Tree of Life.
