The Eichmann Show

2015 · 90 min

A sober, gripping behind-the-scenes drama that weighs the moral urgency of broadcasting atrocity against personal and political resistance.

Genres
Drama, History, Tv movie
Overview
The behind-the-scenes true life story of a groundbreaking producer, Milton Fruchtman, and blacklisted TV director Leo Hurwitz who, overcoming enormous obstacles, set out to capture the testimony of one of the war's most notorious Nazis, Adolf Eichmann, who is accused of executing the 'final solution' and organising the murder of 6 million Jews. This is the extraordinary story of how the trial came to be televised and the team that made it happen.
