Director: Mick Jackson
Participant Media, BBC Films
Runtime 110 mins
Denial is the story of a libel trial held at London’s Royal Courts of Justice in the year 2000.
One historian, David Irving, sued another, Deborah Lipstadt, and the latter’s publisher, Penguin Books Ltd, for defamation. In her the Holocaust: The Growing book, Denying Assault on Truth and Memory, Lipstadt had alleged that Irving was ‘one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial. Familiar with historical evidence, he bends it until it conforms with his ideological leanings and political agenda’.
