7:00pm|DOC FILM|Hannah Arendt (German/English/2012/109mins) Dir.Margarethe von Trotta During the year 1961, the influential German- Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt reported for the New Yorker magazine on the Nazi war crimes trial of Adolf Eichmann.

Using footage from the actual Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, Margharete von Trotta turns the often invisible passion for thought into immersive dramatic cinema.
