Camille Kampouris says she and her husband have long carried with them a desire “to raise up men and women, old and young, to be like [Dietrich] Bonhoeffer, to speak out when there’s evil.”  Bonhoeffer was a German theologian, a pastor, an anti-Nazi dissident, and a spy who took part in an assassination plot against Adolf Hitler. About 14 years ago, Kampouris read Eric Metaxas’ book on the life of Bonhoeffer, and she and her husband, Emmanuel Kampouris, were so moved that they set out to make a film about Bonhoeffer with the famous last words, “How hard could it be?” More than a decade later, the film is hitting theaters ahead of Thanksgiving.  Bonhoeffer, an author himself, has had many books written about his life, but now, Angel Studios is bringing the incredible story of Bonhoeffer to life on the big screen beginning Nov. 22. “The beauty of Bonhoeffer’s story is that it shows what a real Christian should be like, and it shows a failed church, so you see both,” Kampouris, who served as one of the film’s producers, told “The Daily Signal Podcast.” Because of this duality, Kampouris says the film should appeal “to everyone.”  Camille and Emmanuel Kampouris join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share about the long, and sometimes harrowing, journey of making the film, and what they hope audiences take from it.  Listen to the podcast below, or watch the interview above.
