Denial
Historian Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) has written a book about Holocaust deniers. After dedicating a few harshly worded paragraphs towards revisionist historian David Irving (Timothy Spall), shes shocked to find that the disgraced Irving has filed a libel suit against her in England. Whereas the USA has an innocent until proven guilty standpoint, U.K. libel cases lay the burden of proof upon the accused. Therefore, Lipstadt and her large legal team face an uphill battle to prove that Irving knowingly distorted history to fit his ideology. In other words, they have to prove that the Holocaust happened in court against the most academic Holocaust denier in the world.
