German w/ English subtitles / 100 minutes |
With Berlin pressured into allowing
Jewish athletes to compete in its Olympic games, the Nazis
bully Jewish high jumper Gretel Bergmann into training.
With no other German female to challenge Bergmann, the
unknown Marie Ketteler is suddenly introduced onto the
team. The two rivals form a tenuous friendship, with Marie
carrying a secret that puts their friendship, and the
hidden Nazi agenda to the test. Based on a true story,
this is a powerful drama that celebrates the small victories
strong-willed individuals can win over tyranny and hate.
These screenings made possible, in part, through the German
Consulate - Miami.
