The Eichmann Show

In 1961, former Nazi Adolf Eichmann's capture by Israeli agents sparked a groundbreaking television event that would change history: the first-ever global documentary series broadcast of his trial. Against all odds, American TV producer Milton Fruchtman and blacklisted director Leo Hurwitz fought to bring the atrocities committed by Eichmann to the world, overcoming death threats, network reluctance, and even resistance from Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. Their perseverance paid off, and "The Eichmann Show" went on to be broadcast in over three dozen countries, providing a harrowing account of Nazi brutality that still resonates today. This gripping drama tells the true story behind this historic television event.
