Special program on the film "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Murderer", know its story and message
A1 Digital India News: The new film "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Killer" written and directed by Todd Komarnicki is based on the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a revered German pastor during World War II. The film is set to be released later this month, and a special event will be held at Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, Tennessee. The event will feature writer and director Todd Komarnicki, where he will share unique experiences related to the film.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a pastor who spoke out against Germany's Nazi regime. Despite having safer options, he stayed in his country and raised awareness through his sermons. Bonhoeffer took the bold step of standing up to Germany's dictatorship, and for this he lost his life in a concentration camp in April 1945 at the age of 39.
The event will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Second Presbyterian Church, 4055 Poplar Avenue, where Todd Komarnicki will be joining the live taping of the iconic Memphis podcast "An Army of Normal Folks." The podcast's host, Bill Courtney, a Memphis lumberman and Manassas High School football coach, is well known for his Academy Award-winning documentary. Courtney believes Dietrich Bonhoeffer's story fits perfectly with the mission of "Army of Normal Folks."
Bill Courtney's message is a highlight of the event. He said, "You are not too young, you are not too soft-voiced, and you have talents. If you use them in the right direction, you can make the world a better place."
Todd Komarnicki's film takes viewers back to a page in history where an ordinary pastor took the extraordinary step of sacrificing his life for justice and truth. This film not only tells the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's heroism, but also conveys an important message that even the greatest challenges can be overcome with courage and determination.
