Based on a true story, With You There Is Light reveals the romantic relationship between two extraordinary people caught on opposite sides of war. Sophie Scholl (1921-1943) and Fritz Hartnagel (1917-2001) met as the Nazis took over Germany.  Sophie grew up in the girls’ Hitler Youth as Fritz graduated as a pilot from the Potsdam Military Academy. Not a member of the Nazi Party, but sworn to allegiance through the new army oath, Officer Hartnagel fights in the war. Sophie begins a religious journey that will influence and inform her growing desire to turn against the Third Reich.
