Humanizing evil
The first major screen adaptation of the events leading up to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States received its world premiere in the Scottish capital Edinburgh.
This could be partnered with the latest German documentary The Downful (translation) for a double feature on humanizing evil. Hannah Arendt and her Banality of Evil has (have?) nothing on Antonia Bird. Admitting Jarrah was "a well off student" removes the leftist rationale of poverty as a cause for jihad. What will replace it?
