Jerusalem in 1961: A group of TV journalists led by Milton Fruchtman (Martin Freeman) and Leo Hurwitz (Anthony LaPaglia) have embarked on a project that is as committed as it is insane: they want to broadcast the trial of former SS Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann, one of the main organizers of the Holocaust, which is taking place in Israel, on television worldwide. “The Eichmann Case” fictionalizes an episode from US television history that is extremely significant in terms of media history and has lost none of its topicality in today's struggle for truth, authenticity and dealing with history. With an excellent cast, the (television) drama offers an exciting look at the friction and harassment the team was subjected to during production. And in the process created a media event that was reported on daily in up to 38 countries. By integrating real archive footage of the courtroom scenes at the time as well as footage of Eichmann's atrocities into the plot in a gripping way, the film by Paul Andrew Williams (“Song for Marion”) achieves important remembrance work on several historical levels.
