In 1994, Jewish-American professor Deborah Lipstadt faced questioning from right-wing British writer David Irving during a speech about her works "Denying the Holocaust" and "History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier." Irving adamantly claimed that Deborah's reference to herself as a "Jewish Holocaust denier" in her writings was defamatory and took her to court. Reluctant to engage in debates about the "Holocaust," Deborah could not tolerate Irving's grandiose claims of Holocaust denial in the media, so she enlisted the help of renowned British lawyer Anthony Julius as her legal counsel, who assembled a team of experts and a legal team. The Royal Court of the UK officially opened the trial on January 11, 2000. In the early stages of the trial, Irving seemed to hold the upper hand, while Deborah struggled to contain her anxiety, but Anthony and respectable defense attorney Richard Rampton remained calm. In the ensuing rounds of intense confrontation, Richard presented favorable evidence to counter Irving's assertions by organizing a substantial amount of Irving's diaries and personally measuring the distances at Auschwitz concentration camp. After three long months of hearings, the judge ultimately ruled in favor of Deborah Lipstadt. The film is adapted from Deborah Lipstadt's autobiographical novel.
