Hannah Arendt , born 100 years ago this year, was among the most influential political thinkers of the 20th century. She invented one of the most controversial and resonant phrases of our time: "the banality of evil". As a young
German Jew she fled to America in 1941 with her husband Heinrich. Yet her name is historically entwined with a man who became a Nazi: Martin Heidegger. This drama documentary, using private letters and interviews, tells the story of the 50-year relationship between the teacher and the student. That Martin Heidegger was her lover came as a shock to many: that she agreed to a reconciliation after the war still raises questions today. Producers/Directors Penny Leicester and Emma Harding
