Outrageous Collector's Prices

The pricing of this great film on VHS has driven it out of the reach of anyone but a seasoned collector or reseller. For those who would simply like to see this memorable film it is "unavailable." None of the rest of us can pay $60 to view a subtitled used VHS. But the film is of such content that folks need to see it! The message of the film is clear and accurate. But it is beyond reach.

Here's the plea: If someone has the film and is willing, they should transfer it over to DVD and get the same kind of distribution as the German students in the film did with their message!!! The message of the film is the same message that those courageous young students had. Their message got out in their day but in this day it is not able to circulate owing to commercialism! Now that's Kafkaian twist on "what's right." Somebodys got it and can get it back into the hands of people who need to hear its message.

Watch the final interview with Traudl Junge in the film "The Downfall" ( Untergang, Der) and you will find that Sophie Scholl, the young female student portrayed in "The White Rose" was instrumental in opening Hitler's secretary's eyes to the truth about herself and her role in the Nazi empire. That is the kind of power the film has. It needs to get back into the hands of folks who need it!!
