It’s the Movie Show Digital Extra!  When we don’t have enough time on the main show broadcast, we bring it to you on our digital platforms! 

In this Movie Show Digital Extra, Andy Farnsworth is joined by film director T.C. Christensen, whose new movie “Escape From Germany” opens on Thursday, April 11, 2024 in Utah theaters, with a regional distribution to follow. 

“Escape From Germany” tells the true story how missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were miraculously evacuated from Germany just before World War II broke out in August of 1939. 

Christensen talks about how the movie came to be, how long he’s been working on it, some of the challenges of shooting a period piece on an independent film budget, and what he hopes a viewer will experience when they watch it.  (NOTE: Some minor story spoilers for “Escape From Germany” are discussed)
