Programme Information

In January 1942, 15 of Hitler's top men gathered at Wannsee for a special meeting to discuss the implementation of his latest directive - the 'Final Solution' that would unleash the Holocaust. Based on original transcripts from the meeting, Frank Pierson's chilling BAFTA-winning film stars Kenneth Branagh as Heidrich and Stanley Tucci as Eichmann, just two of a set of soldiers and civil servants quietly, almost casually, planning humanity's greatest crime.
