Details

The Eichmann Show is a powerful historical drama film that takes viewers back to the shocking events of 1961. The movie centers around former Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who is captured by Jewish agents and put on trial. American television producer Milton Fruchtman strongly believes that the trial, with its witness accounts of Nazi atrocities, should be televised to expose the evils of the Holocaust and prevent any resurgence of Nazism.

Fruchtman teams up with black-listed director Leo Hurwitz to bring this unprecedented trial to the small screen. However, they face numerous challenges along the way. They receive death threats, encounter reluctance from several networks, and even face resistance from the Israeli prime minister, who fears the trial being turned into a show trial.

Despite these obstacles, Fruchtman and Hurwitz remain determined and move their cameras into the courtroom. They meticulously edit the footage daily and eventually manage to broadcast the trial to millions of viewers worldwide.

The Eichmann Show is a gripping and thought-provoking film that delves into the moral dilemmas faced by those involved in bringing such a significant event to television. It showcases the power of journalism and the impact it can have on shaping public perception.
