DOWNFALL
It's the last days of Adolf Hitler, April 1945, and Hitler's personal secretary Traudl Junge finds herself
in the Der Fuhrer's bunker. Facing inevitable defeat, Hilter's moods range from defiance to fight or flee, remain loyal or
opt for self-preservation. Eva Braun parties while Magda Goebbels kills her children. The movie goes on to show how Hitler
and Eva lived their last hours in the Bunker. Traudl Junge (Lara), the final secretary for Adolf Hitler (Ganz), tells of the
Nazi dictator's final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII. Called "dramatic, accurate and harrowing" by the San Francisco
Chronicle and nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, DOWNFALL takes you into Hitler's bunker during the brutal and
harrowing last days of the Third Reich. Seen through the eyes of Hitler's infamous secretary Traudl Junge, optimism crumbles
into grim realization and terror as it becomes clear that Germany's defeat is inevitable. As the Russian army circles the
city, the dimly lit halls of the underground refuge become an execution chamber for the Fuhrer and his closest advisors. German Language with English subtitles, Running time: Approx.155 Minutes. Price - $29.98

Saints and Soldiers
Based on actual WWII events, the award-winning "Saints and Soldiers" tells the dramatic story of a small
band of Allied soldiers trapped behind enemy lines with information that could save thousands of American lives. Outgunned
and ill-equipped, they must now battle a frigid wilderness and roving German troops to smuggle the critical intelligence back
to Allied territory. In mid-December 1944, Hitler's Army charges through the Ardennes Forest in Belgium, initiating the offensive
that will come to be known as the Battle of the Bulge. The Germans cross paths with a battalion of American soldiers and take
them captive on a snow-covered field near Malmedy, Belgium. When a few of the Americans try to escape, the German soldiers
open fire on the unarmed prisoners, in the tragic event now known as the Malmedy Massacre. Corporal Nathan "Deacon" Greer,
his friend Sergeant Gordon Gunderson and a handful of others survive the massacre by playing dead and escaping into the nearby
woods. The small band of soldiers come across stranded British intelligence officer Oberon Winley, who has valuable information
to be delivered to Allied forces, increasing the urgency of their already desperate situation. The group forms a fragile bond
as they begin to trust each other. But the constant threat of capture, as well as mounting suspicions of a German sympathizer
within the group, threaten to tear them apart. Now, with few weapons, no food and a strained camaraderie, this tiny band must
take on the unforgiving winter and a forest filled with enemy troops to fight their way back to Allied occupied territory.
