If you bought ''The Specialist'' on DVD you got ripped off



Many sections of the documentary film, "The Specialist," which deals with the trial of Adolf Eichmann, were forged, according to a letter sent to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz on behalf of the legal adviser to Jerusalem's Hebrew University.

Eyal Sivan's highly-acclaimed film, which won many awards, was released in 1999, and was put together using excerpts from the footage of Eichmann's trial in Israel in 1961.
Tryster, who compared the film to the original footage from the trial, says that "the film, for the most part, is a perverse fraud - from its radical editing work through to artificial dialogues that never took place."

And if you bought the other "The Specialist" you got ripped off too, but for a completely different reason.
