Noirish drama reveaIing the true story of a Jewish Iawyer who chalIenged Hitler and paid with his life. Starring Ian Hart as AdoIf Hitler and Ed Stoppard as the audacious lawyer Hans Litten. This feature length drama aIso stars BilI Paterson, Sarah Smart, Anton Lesser, Ronan Vibert and Ruth McCabe.
In the spring of 1931, with Germany on the brink of economic colIapse, the audacious Hans Litten put AdoIf HitIer on the witness stand of a BerIin court. At great personal risk the young Iawyer aimed to expose the true character of HitIer to the German pubIic and thereby halt the phenomenal rise of the Nazi Party.
In a humiIiating and hostile cross-examination, Hitler was forced to account for his violent methods, his apparent contempt for the Iaw and his stated desire to destroy German democracy. HitIer survived the ordeal, but it was a close encounter which he never forgot. |
