In 1931, Hans Litten, a young lawyer, succeeded in summoning Hitler before the court of Berlin to try to block the road to Nazism.
Combining archival footage, testimonies from Litten’s relatives and interviews with historians and lawyers, this documentary reveals the immense audacity of the young lawyer, who in 1933 was sent to a concentration camp where he died.
