The behind the scenes true life story of ground breaking producer milton fruchtman and blacklisted tv director leo hurwitz, who, overcoming enormous obstacles, set out to capture the testimony of one of the war's most notorious nazis, adolf eichmann. He is accused of executing the 'final solution' and organising the murder of six million jews. This is the extraordinary story of how eichmann's trial came to be televised and the team that made it happen.filmed at the trial in jerusalem in 1961, the production became the world's first ever global tv documentary series, where, for the first time, the horror of the camps was heard directly from the mouths of its victims. It was edited daily and broadcast in germany, america, israel and 34 other countries. People fainted when they saw it on tv. Never before had there been such drama in the use of cameras, their positioning or the revolutionary effect of operators being able to adjust frame and position to match subject and content.
