Rachel Weisz is out to prove the Holocaust happened in ‘Denial’ (VIDEO)
LOS ANGELES, June 16 — The official trailer has been released for Rachel Weisz’s upcoming film Denial.
Based on the acclaimed book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier by Deborah Lipstadt, the film tells the story of Lipstadt’s legal battle against David Irving, who accused Lipstadt of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier.
With the English legal system putting the burden of proof is on the accused, Lipstadt was then obligated to prove that the Holocaust had occurred in order to defend herself.
The film sees Oscar winner Rachel Weisz take on the role of Lipstadt against Timothy Spall as Irving.
The film also stars Tom Wilkinson, Andrew Scott and Mark Gatiss, and is directed by Emmy Award winner Mick Jackson.
