Trailer For AMERICAN TRAITOR: THE TRIAL OF AXIS SALLY with Al Pacino and Meadow Williams
The first trailer has been released for the film American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally. The film tells the true story of Mildred Gillars, who is fighting to redeem her reputation for broadcasting Nazi propaganda to American troops during World War II.
The movie stars Al Pacino, Meadow Williams, Mitche Pileggi, Thomas Kretschmann, and Lala Kent. This is the synopsis for the film:
Based on the true story, AMERICAN TRAITOR: THE TRIAL OF AXIS SALLY follows the life of American woman Mildred Gillars (Meadow Williams) and her lawyer (Al Pacino), who struggles to redeem her reputation. Dubbed “Axis Sally” for broadcasting Nazi propaganda to American troops during World War II, Mildred’s story exposes the dark underbelly of the Third Reich's hate-filled propaganda machine, her eventual capture in Berlin, and subsequent trial for treason against the United States after the war.
Mildred was the first woman to be convicted of treason against the United States. In March 1949, she was sentenced to ten to thirty years' imprisonment. She was released in 1961.
This is basically a courtroom drama, and while it doesn’t really look that interesting to me, maybe some of you will be interested in checking it out.
American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally was directed by Michael Polish from a script by Vance Owen and Darryl Hicks. The film is set to be released in theaters and on VOD on May 28th.
