Our film portrays HANNAH ARENDT during the four years, (1960-64), that she reported, wrote, and endured the furious reception for her work about the trial of Adolf Eichmann: the famous Nazi war criminal who was kidnapped by the Israelis in Argentina and then tried, and sentenced to death, in Jerusalem. Arendt wrote Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil first as a five-part series for the New Yorker, and later published it as a book. This Report instantly created an international scandal.
