Storyline

April 17, 1944. A high-profile trial for sedition opens in Washington. Dozens of individuals—including members of Congress—are accused of cooperating with German forces, participating in pro-Nazi movements, and plotting to overthrow the U.S. government. How did this happen in the world's greatest democracy? And why does no one remember this major episode in American history?

Every frame feels alive. America first, the Nazi plot is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.
