Dresden
ROMANCE AND WAR COLLIDE IN AN EPIC MINI-SERIES -- THE MOST WATCHED TV PROGRAM IN GERMAN HISTORY!
The gripping romance and drama of the epic mini-series DRESDEN captured the attention of European audiences and critics alike when it first aired in 2006, winning the German Television Award for Best Movie. Set against the historic background of the Dresden bombing near the end of World War II, the stunning made-for-television event earned accolades for its realistic fire scenes, CGI flying sequences and the participation of both British and German historians.
The most watched TV production in German history, DRESDEN will be available to U.S. audiences for the first time when it debuts as a two-disc DVD set featuring extras including a fascinating making-of featurette and stunning archival military newsreel footage of the actual Dresden bombings. DRESDEN stars German actress Felicitas Woll (" Berlin , Berlin "), who won the Best Actor/Actress Bavarian TV Award for her role as Anna Mauth, and English actor John Light ("North & South") as Robert Newman, fictional characters caught up in a romance complicated by an all too real war. In the fateful days leading up to the Allied bombings of Dresden , a hospital nurse discovers an injured British pilot hiding in the cellar. First thinking that he is a German deserter, Anna helps the wounded man recover. But when she comes to realize his true identity, she cannot bring herself to turn him in. As Anna struggles with her feelings and Robert battles to survive behind enemy lines, an unforeseen fate descends on the doomed city.
