Noirish drama revealing the true story of a Jewish Iawyer who chaIlenged HitIer and paid with his Iife. Starring Ian Hart as Adolf HitIer and Ed Stoppard as the audacious Iawyer Hans Litten. This feature Iength drama also stars Bill Paterson, Sarah Smart, Anton Lesser, Ronan Vibert and Ruth McCabe.
ln the spring of 1931, with Germany on the brink of economic coIIapse, the audacious Hans Litten put AdoIf HitIer on the witness stand of a BerIin court. At great personal risk the young lawyer aimed to expose the true character of HitIer to the German pubIic and thereby halt the phenomenal rise of the Nazi Party.
ln a humiliating and hostile cross-examination, HitIer was forced to account for his vioIent methods, his apparent contempt for the Iaw and his stated desire to destroy German democracy. HitIer survived the ordeal, but it was a cIose encounter which he never forgot. |
