Utah Filmmaker Recounts Historical Escape from Nazi Germany

The month of August marks the 85^th anniversary of the escape of LDS missionaries from Germany just one day before the Nazi invasion began. In this episode, FM100.3 Host Rebecca Cressman is joined by Utah Filmmaker T.C. Christensen. Christensen shares how his latest movie Escape from Germany draws from the personal diaries of the real missionaries who escaped to Denmark in 1939 and why he believes this film, shot in Utah and in Europe, has had continued success at the box office 4 months after its release in April.
