The legendary Ghost Army, and a con artist becomes a priest | Passport Picks

War, deception, art and glory come together in the documentary film “The Ghost Army,” the astonishing true story of American G.I.s, many of whom would later have illustrious careers in art, design and fashion, who tricked the enemy with rubber tanks, sound effects and carefully crafted illusions during the Second World War.

A con artist becomes a priest in St. Maik, now on Passport!

Con artist Maik Schafer trades his fake conductor’s suit for a real soutane while trying to escape a train job gone wrong. Standing in for the new vicar in the catholic parish of Lauterberg, Maik finds himself caught up in the parish members’ fates and fortunes, and deals with their problems in his own unconventional way. From Walter Presents, in German with English subtitles.
