Filmmaker Marc Rothemund says of the German film industry: "The environment has never been more suited to making quality films. Young people are now avidly watching German films whereas 10 years ago the theaters were all about Hollywood productions. And, surprisingly, there's a great demand for historical stories like 'Sophie Scholl.' ''
Rothemund believes that his generation (he's 38) is probably the first since World War II to want to know more about the Third Reich. "To ensure a future, one must first face the past," he said, during a promotional visit to Tokyo. "For myself, the story of Sophie Scholl was one that needed to be told, no matter how difficult the task.''
In your opinion, what kind of a woman was Sophie Scholl?
