20. Alone In Berlin - Emma Thompson & Brendan Gleeson
Based on one of the first anti-Nazi books released after the end of World War 2 - the cheerily named Every Man Dies Alone - Alone In Berlin teams Harry Potter professors Emma Thompson and Brendan Gleeson as a working class couple who act alone as German Resistance against the Nazi party. It's a true story, following the breathless, heart-breaking story of Otto and Elise Hampel who sent out hundreds of postcards encouraging resistance after the death of their son in action. Sadly, don't expect a happy ending as the couple were discovered and put on trial at the Volksgerichtshof, where they were sentenced to death. Otto's sentence was carried out quickly, but Anna died during a bombing raid before hers could be. Expect a difficult watch but an important one.
