New Inspirational Film "Truth & Treason" Tells the True Story of a Teenage Resistance Fighter in Nazi Germany

Angel Studios, the film and TV platform powered by nearly one million members of the Angel Guild, has announced the addition of TRUTH & TREASON to its 2025 theatrical slate. Based on a remarkable true story, the film follows Helmuth Hübener, a courageous 16-year-old in Nazi Germany who forms a resistance group with his friends Karl and Rudi after witnessing the arrest of his Jewish friend. Produced by Kaleidoscope Pictures, TRUTH & TREASON will debut in theaters worldwide beginning October 17, 2025.

Originally announced as a limited series titled Truth & Conviction, the project transitioned into a feature film after production began. Both Angel Studios and the filmmakers agreed that the scale and power of the story demanded a big-screen experience.

"Matt Whitaker's direction brings Helmuth Hübener's incredible story to life, thrilling and inspiring audiences while leaving them profoundly moved.
