Deborah Lipstadt's internationally publicized legal battle against a Holocaust denier is the subject of the new feature film "Denial." Producers Russ Krasnoff and Gary Foster, director Mick Jackson, and a film crew transformed the Quad into a temporary movie set to capture exterior shots of the campus for the final scenes of the film.
Based upon Lipstadt's acclaimed 2005 memoir, History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier, the film stars Academy Award-winning actress Rachel Weisz as Lipstadt, two-time Academy Award-nominee Tom Wilkinson as her British barrister, and Timothy Spall as Holocaust denier David Irving.
Lipstadt (center) poses with Professor David and Mrs. Blumenthal, who played extras in the shooting of "Denial" on the Emory campus, February 2016.
