About the Event

The 1961 preparations for the execution of Adolf Eichmann, the 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 investigator who also happens to be a Holocaust survivor and a precocious 13-year-old Libyan immigrant.

The director's work brings to life the varied experiences of these characters, emphasizing that the same historical events are often perceived differently by people. 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.
