Based on Deborah E. Lipstadt’s acclaimed book "History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier." The book recounts Lipstadt’s legal battle for historical truth against David Irving, who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust Denier. In the English legal system, the burden of proof is on the accused; therefore, it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust happened.

MOVIE REVIEW

Based on the true story of an author and historian who was forced to prove, in court, that the Holocaust actually happened, Denial is a CSPAN-level drama that fails to come close to its potential. Despite featuring a talented cast including Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson and Timothy Spall, Denial is a disappointing drama through and through.
