As taken from the back of the DVD case: On January 20th of 1942, 15 officials attended a conference at Wannsee on the outskirts of Berlin. Comprised of mid-ranking SS commanders and a variety of government ministers, the meeting was organized by SS Major Adolf Eichmann, under the direction of the ruthless and efficient Chief of Security Reinhard Heydrich. It was to be a polite conference with food, wine and some debate, but beneath this thin veneer of manners lay an evil intent. By the meeting's close, the fate of six million lives would be decided, and a terrible machine put into operation that would alter the shape of the world. This movie is based on the only surviving record of that meeting.

It's a true story with some very good acting. It's a captivating movie that shows a lot about human nature and how the will of some can influence the decisions of others.

The majority of this film takes place around a table; this is not an action movie by any means.

This is a must see for anyone interested in history; specifically how the fate of millions was decided during a meeting that lasted less than two hours.
