EL CASO FRITZ BAUER

Having received intelligence about Nazi lieutenant colonel Adolf Eichmann’s whereabouts, German-Jewish public prosecutor Fritz Bauer needs to tread carefully between German officials looking to thwart his operation, and the Israeli Mossad, where priorities are given to more immediate threats.

Evoking Spielberg’s Munich in both story and atmosphere, The People vs. Fritz Bauer recounts the gruelling history of post-war Nazi hunting through calibrated, articulate suspense. A robust inquiry into a divided country and the struggle to reckon with its most recent past. Subtly subversive.
