Film Screening: Denial

What:

The film 'Denial' will be screened in 1938 lounge at 8pm. 

Rotten Tomatoes (83%) description: "Based on the acclaimed book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier, DENIAL recounts Deborah E. Lipstadt's (Academy Award (R) winner Rachel Weisz) legal battle for historical truth against David Irving (Cannes Award winner Timothy Spall), 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 occurred."

The film addresses really important issues surrounding the boundaries of freedom of speech and how to interact people who display extremist views.
