Michael Shannon’s opening statement in the Nuremberg trial scene is taken almost word for word from the real address delivered by Justice Robert H. Jackson on November 21, 1945, the second day the tribunal officially began. Jackson’s speech is still regarded by legal scholars as one of the greatest and most influential orations in the history of international law and criminal jurisprudence. #NurembergFilm is now playing in theaters. • Directed by: James Vanderbilt • Written by: James Vanderbilt
