Movie Preview: Resisting the Nazis, weighing “Truth & Treason” in an Angel Studios release

The fanbase of Angel Studios lined up around the block for “Sound of Freedom,” a ham-fisted child trafficking “true story” based on the declarations of a soundly discredited “crusader” and starring Mr. “Passion of the Christ,” Jim Caviezel.

But the loyalists didn’t exactly pour into theaters, encouraged by church leaders and Christian influencers, to see the story of a Christian who resisted the Nazis (“Bonhoeffer”).

So who knows whether they’ll turn out for another Resist Fascism tale, “Truth & Treason,” about a Mormon teen who started his own resistance group of pamphleteers. Let’s hope they do, as this preview is pretty blunt about the parallels it draws between Hitler and Hitler impersonators of today.

Oct. 17, in theaters.
