Summary Germany, 1957. Attorney General Fritz Bauer receives crucial evidence on the whereabouts of the so-called 'Architect of the Holocaust', Adolf Eichmann. Bauer, himself Jewish, has been trying to take crimes from the Third Reich to court ever since his return from exile, but has been stymied by an unforgiving German government. Bauer covertly elicits the help of the Israeli secret service to bring Eichmann to justice, and, in doing so, commits treason against Germany. THE PEOPLE VS. FRITZ BAUER is a historical thriller that exposes the elusiveness of evil while celebrating the tenacious heroism of Bauer. Audience Award winner and nominated for the Variety Piazza Grande Award at the **Locarno International Film Festival**. Winner of Best Direction, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Outstanding Feature Film, and Best Screenplay at the **German Film Awards**. *"It's a compelling portrait both of Bauer and of a fraught moment in German history." - Kerry Lengel, **Arizona Republic***
