Nazi Parter leader Adolf Eichmann certainly made his mark in Jewish history as one of the organizers of the Holocaust. His trial and execution opened eyes, debates, and discussions over this hated man. Writer Tom Shoval worked with director Jake Paltrow to create a narrative feature film that explores the different perspectives of very different people in June Zero.
The film stars Noam Ovadia, Tzahi Grad, Yoav Levi, and Tom Hagi.
Here is the official synopsis:
The 1961 preparations for the execution of Adolf Eichmann, a principal architect of the Holocaust, are revisited in a gripping and surprising new vision from American filmmaker Jake Paltrow. Based on true accounts, June Zero is told from the unique perspectives of three distinct figures: Eichmann’s Jewish Moroccan prison guard, an Israeli police investor who also happens to be a Holocaust survivor and a precocious and clever 13-year-old Libyan immigrant.
Entirely shot on 16mm film, Paltrow’s vividly textured work brings to life the varied experiences of these characters, emphasizing that the same historical events are often perceived differently by people around the world. June Zero underscores the notion that shared traumas have the power to forge the strongest bonds and give rise to unexpected moments of triumph and connection. As the film delves into the complexities of the human experience during this pivotal trial, it serves as a poignant reminder that history’s impact can be both diverse and unifying.
