Synopsis: The 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, a major architect of the Holocaust, is 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 largely unrelated figures: Eichmanns Jewish Moroccan prison guard; an Israeli police investigator who also happens to be a Holocaust survivor and a precocious and clever 13-year-old Libyan immigrant. Largely shot on 16mm film, Paltrows vividly textured work reminds us that the same histories are often experienced differently by people all over the world, but that shared traumas can also create the strongest of bonds and lead to unexpected moments of triumph and greatness as well.
