Denial is a 2016 British-American drama film directed by Mick Jackson. The film is based on Deborah E. Lipstadt's book "History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier". The film will be released on September 30, 2016. The movie, based on a true story, recounts Lipstadt’s legal battle for historical truth against David Irving, who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier.

Andrew plays Anthony Julius who was Lipstadt's solicitor advocate and Mark plays a professor named Robert Jan van der Pelt. (looked him up, he's a leading expert on Auschwitz) The lovely Rachel Weisz plays the lead role.

Great to see Andrew in a non-villain role.

And where is Mark?
FYI, he was in Auschwitz earlier this year. I wondered why...

Presumably for this film...isn't it about Holocaust denial?
