HANNAH ARENDT is a portrait of the genius that shook the world with her discovery of ÔÇ£the banality of evil.ÔÇØ After she attends the Nazi Adolf EichmannÔÇÖs trial in Jerusalem, Arendt dares to write about the Holocaust in terms no one has ever heard before. Her work instantly provokes a furious scandal, and Arendt stands strong as she is attacked by friends and foes alike. But as the German-Jewish ├®migr├® also struggles to suppress her own painful associations with the past, the film exposes her beguiling blend of arrogance and vulnerability ÔÇö revealing a soul defined and derailed by exile.
