The night of November 8, 1923, is arguably the most significant and transformative in the history of the twentieth century. A localised uprising in the Bavarian capital of Munich, led by a small man with a toothbrush moustache and a poisonous yet compelling grandiloquence, would have repercussions that would lead to the political shackling of an entire nation, the most abhorrent crimes of the century and a world war. You might say, Adolf Hitler came of age amid the smell of sweat and sawdust of a Munich beer hall. In the political chaos of 1923, he was a local irritant, gaining popularity among workers and soldiers, the ethos of his Nazi Party spreading like a virus. His first attempt at attaining true power came with an attempted putsch on the already separatist government of Bavaria, which left him imprisoned. Across a 60-minute documentary, divided into four distinct parts, this is the gripping story of how one turbulent night changed the world. This is history in microcosm, with the tension of a thriller, and repercussions that echo to this day. A night that ended in failure and disarray became the foundation stone for a revolution that would bring this radical rabblerouser supreme power.
