Rachel Weisz stands up for the truth in exclusive Denial clip

Entertainment Weekly - September 7, 2016

By Oliver Gettell

Rachel Weisz is committed to the truth in an exclusive clip from the new courtroom drama Denial, but she may not have the opportunity to bear witness.

Based on the 2005 memoir History on Trial, the film stars Weisz as Deborah E. Lipstadt, an American historian who was sued for libel for characterizing British writer David Irving as a Holocaust denier in a 1993 book. Because the burden of proof is on the defendant in English libel cases, it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team, led by Richard Rampton (Tom Wilkinson), to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.
