    In 1939, a young Unitarian minister named Waitstill Sharp and his wife Martha embarked on a mission that changed not only their lives, but the lives of thousands. Their own lives were constantly in danger as they outwitted and circumvented the Nazi authorities. “The Minister's War” is a new documentary highlighting the risks taken by the Sharps to save whomever they could, using whatever means they could.
