About Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny "Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny is a feature documentary about the extraordinary life and work of one of the most influential and fearless political thinkers of the twentieth century. 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, judgement, and unflinching capacity to ‘make the facts welcome, Arendt transformed her time as a political prisoner, refugee and survivor in Europe, along with her observations of America during the McCarthy Era, the Vietnam War and the Watergate crisis, into thoughtful and daring insights into the human condition, the refugee crisis, democracy and totalitarianism, which continue to resonate more than a half century later."
