Producer Matt Silver has signed on to produce the new World War 2 drama Teenage Girls Who Killed Nazis with Pendragon Pictures’ producer Susan Goforth and director Timothy Hines.
In the upcoming film “Teenage Girls Who Killed Nazis,” (working title), renowned director Timothy Hines and producer co-writer Susan Goforth will bring to life the remarkable story of three courageous women who were super-agents for the Dutch resistance during World War II. Teenage Girls Who Killed Nazis draws inspiration from extensive historical accounts and is set to begin filming in Spring 2024. The film delves into the lives of Hannie Schaft, Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, shedding light on the three girls’ extraordinary bravery and sacrifice.
“This true story of young women resistance fighting against the occupying Nazi regime during WW2 is very powerful and very relevant,” shares director Timothy Hines, “We know that, by telling the truth of what Hannie, Truus and Freddie experienced to fight Nazism, we will encourage the next generation to fight against racism, exclusion, inequality and oppression.”

“Teenage Girls Who Killed Nazis is a powerful anti-Nazi movie,” states producer Susan Goforth, “A film that viscerally exposes the horrors and tortures of the Nazi regime during World War 2, through the eyes of the real-life girls who, when faced with such concentrated hate and evil, courageously resist and fight against Hitler any way they could, be it smuggling Jewish families and children to safe houses and out of the country, stealing and forging identification papers, gathering intel on the Nazi’s plans, committing grand scale sabotage and assassinating Nazi commanders and collaborators.
