Director: Mick Jackson • Scenario: David Hare • Podľa predlohy: Deborah Lipstadt - Dejiny pred súdom • Camera: Haris Zambarloukos • Music: Howard Shore • Haircut: Justine Wright • Cast: Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Spall, Andrew Scott, Caren Pistorius, Alex Jennings

A dramatic film inspired by actual events. Respected writer and historian Deborah E. Lipstadt is drawn into a legal dispute with well-known war historian David Irving, who has

accused her of libel for publically describing him as a holocaust denier. In English law, the burden of proof in a libel case falls on the defendant, which means it is Lipstadt who must prove that the Holocaust actually happened. The film focuses on the fascinating circumstances surrounding the court case, presenting a broad view of the danger of historical revisionism. Lipstadt epitomizes unbending tenacity, while her adversary deftly embodies the banal evil that so effectively attracts media attention. The film is a gripping reminder that history should never be misused.
