Hannah Arendt: Denken ist gefährlich

This highly compelling documentary portrait traces Hannah Arendt's emotional and intellectual journey to becoming the most important political thinker of the 20th century. Her sharp analyses of the emergence of totalitarianism, her writings and lectures on the dangers of autocratic rule sound like cutting-edge commentaries on the current world situation. What she holds against it is the thinking that is possible for every human being. Stop and think! is her motto. “A sense of responsibility can only develop through reflection, not on oneself, but on what one does.”
