WATCH THE TRAILER
"Marvelous footage... the film gives audiences a chance to be at the trial... Viewers will see Eichmann's facial tick, discussed at length in coverage of the trial. They will see portions of witness testimonies. I heard stories I had [not] yet heard about the Holocaust... A fascinating assemblage of interviews, footage, and analysis. It is highly recommended." –Jewish Daily Forward
