Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin

Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin (2024) is a historical war drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Todd Komarnicki and starring Jonas Dassler alongside Moritz Bleibtreu and August Diehl, the film traces the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer — German Lutheran theologian turned resistance operative who joined the plot to kill Hitler.

Bonhoeffer wasn't a soldier or a spy by training. He was a man who concluded that remaining neutral was itself a moral choice — the wrong one. The film follows him from his theological writings through his work inside the Abwehr intelligence network to the July 20 conspiracy, without smoothing out the doubt and cost that came with every step. At 132 minutes, it refuses to flatten a complicated man into a simple martyr.

He was executed in April 1945, three weeks before Germany surrendered. The film makes sure you carry that number from the opening scene to the last. Stream Bonhoeffer (2024) online on iFILM.
