In the harsh winter of 1942, Russian troops fight to hold off the advancing German Army at Stalingrad. In his frozen foxhole, German staff physician and Protestant pastor, Kurt Reuber, creates a simple charcoal drawing of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child. At the bottom of the drawing he writes an inscription, "Licht, Leben, Liebe" ("Light, Life, Love"). This documentary tells the story of the Stalingrad Madonna and how it continues to serve as a motivation for reconciliation between nations

Short with a good message.
Sheds light on a little-known incident in the battle of Stalingrad where a doctor created a Madonna that survived the war and its' effect on soldiers on both sides of the conflict. Very moving and relatively short. Good message.
