The Eichmann Show (2015 TV Movie)
8/10
Powerful Performances!
4 October 2018
A timely reminder, with great accuracy, top notch performances. Martin Freeman & Anthony LaPaglia delivering best dramatic works here. In a year (2016) the world witnesses a resurgence of fascism this riveting epilogue from Adolf Eichmanns sentencing: "Each of us who has ever felt (they) were created better than any other human being, has stood on the threshold where Eichmann stood". Freeman, LaPaglia reincarnated positions of producer and director for first worldwide televised trial of Nazi War criminal Adolf Eichmann. Glimpsing recent history from production point of view, we see the fanaticism and death threats endured, alongside cathartic emotional steps to healing that this realtime broadcast of accused Nazi murderer Eichmann delivered to survivors, war veterans, witnesses, world at large. Trial of Eichmann afforded for millions the first safe societal space for WWII european survivors to begn to tell their truths.
