5 min podcast discussing Terence Malick’s film, A Hidden Life, which tells the story of World War II martyr of conscience, Blessed Franz Jagerstatter and his equally heroic wife Fani.
Terence Malick recently directed a film about a simple Austrian farming couple whose alpine paradise was shattered by the trauma of World War II. A Hidden Life tells the story of Franz and Fani Jägerstätter who were both persecuted mercilessly for Franz’s refusal to take the oath required of every soldier, a promise of personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler.
