In 1931, Hans Litten, a young lawyer, managed to summon Hitler before the Berlin court to try to block the road to Nazism.
Combining archival footage, testimonies of 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.
