Hannah Arendt

[Machine Translation] Hannah Arendt, the Jewish woman philosopher who witnessed the trial of the famous Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann and published her own report, causing a huge scandal. This masterpiece is a soul-stirring drama that depicts her way of life and her message, which is still relevant today. --Hannah Arendt is a woman who went from being a highly respected philosopher to being bashed by the world. Her name is Hannah Arendt, a German Jew who escaped from a Nazi concentration camp during World War II and fled to the U.S. In the early 1960s, Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal who transported millions of Jews to camps, was arrested while on the run. Arendt witnessed the historic trial in Israel and published a report in The New Yorker magazine, which shook public opinion with its shocking content. Arendt, who believed that "thinking makes us stronger," continued to insist on Eichmann's "banality of evil," even though he was anguished over the severe criticism he received from the public. The film is based on the true story of Eichmann's turbulent life, and the "truth" that Arendt truly wanted to convey over the past half century is now revealed.
