This feature documentary explores the extraordinary life and work of one of the most influential and fearless political thinkers of the twentieth century. Hannah Arendt’s philosophical writings emerged directly from her dramatic and often terrifying experiences, coming of age in Germany as Hitler rose to power, then finding her way to the United States as a Jewish refugee.

Through her bravery, judgment, and unflinching capacity to “make the facts welcome,” Arendt transformed her time as a political prisoner, refugee, survivor, and observer of critical events in American history into thoughtful and daring insights into the human condition which continue to resonate more than a half century later.
