OneGate Media has picked up the global distribution rights to the upcoming ARD historical docudrama, NUREMBERG 45 (90’), based around the groundbreaking Nuremberg Trials of 1945. The docudrama will premiere on ARD later this year.

Combining fictional scenes, original archival footage, and contemporary interviews, NUREMBERG 45 tells the story of the groundbreaking trials through the eyes of two young Holocaust survivors; Ernst Michel, who is driven by the loss of his parents and friends and returns alone to witness justice as a court reporter and Seweryna Szmaglewska, who testified as one of the very first survivors.

The hybrid narrative brings to life the world’s first international tribunal – a trial that not only held Nazi leaders accountable, but also laid the foundation for modern human rights and international law.

The documentary will mark 80 years since the tribunals began, making history as the first time a universal concept of justice was defined. The tribunals laid the foundation for today’s global justice system and the International Criminal Court.

NUREMBERG 45 is an emotionally layered narrative, featuring colorized original material and in-depth interviews that create a powerful, visually immersive, historically grounded, and deeply human story.

OneGate Media will handle worldwide distribution, making the film available to broadcasters and streaming platforms around the globe.
