Matt Roush says...
Prolific documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost) uses archival footage and newly released audio from the 1940s’ Nuremberg trials as a framework for a sweeping six-part docuseries that charts the terrible history of Germany’s Third Reich under the fanatical and dictatorial leadership of Adolf Hitler. With narration derived from the late journalist William L. Shirer (author of the definitive The Rise and fall of the Third Reich) and recreations, Evil on Trial lays out the economic and sociopolitical trends of the time, with parallels to the current rise of authoritarian and racist regimes.
