When loyalty to countrybecomes loyalty to a lie, one teen risks everything to expose the truth — with the Gestapo closing in, he must decide what it really means to be a good German. Helmuth formed a resistance group with his friends Karl and Rudi afterwitnessing the arrest of his Jewish friends by the Nazis, and their brave actions led them to face trial in Nazi Germany. Helena and Stephanie share their reactions to this powerful true story, discussing its emotional impact, standout performances and what makes it one of Angel's most compelling films yet. Whether you've already seen it or are deciding whether it belongs on your watchlist, this is the conversation to tune in to.

The Inner Sea, an award-winning documentary by filmmaker Kate Stapleton, changes that narrative by offering a rare glimpse into the adoption experience through the eyes of a birth mother. Directed by Stapleton, who also plays the role of the first-time filmmaker and birth mother, The Inner Sea invites audiences to witness the emotional complexities of adoption, identity, and healing.MORNINGS WITH RADIO MARIA airs live every weekday at 9am, featuring a wide range of guests with interesting stories to tell and things to share.
