Escape from Germany.

With war approaching, a scattered group races to cross the border.

In August 1939, American Latter-day Saint missionaries serving in Germany receive orders to leave as Europe moves toward war. Finding everyone and arranging passage becomes increasingly difficult as borders tighten and travel grows dangerous. Drawn from missionaries' journals, the drama follows the urgent search and the decisions that help the group reach safety.

US film rating

The US PG rating cites thematic material and brief violence. Nazi intimidation, weapons and the threat of arrest create tension; the setting includes persecution and the approach of war. The film presents events through a Latter-day Saint perspective, with prayer and belief in divine help important to the story.
