In April 2009, David Irving sat for a privately filmed interview lasting many hours, designed to become the basis of a major documentary on his life and his often controversial opinions on history. Eventually, the film will be released with complete documentation, newsreel inserts, and all the other paraphernalia and embellishments of film history. What we have here, however, is film in the raw, uncut and unedited, ready for the producer’s knife and the editor’s brush and palette.
In the first part of this film, the writer talks about the England he comes from, how he formed his beliefs, and how he became one of the world’s best-selling historians – through perseverance with sources and fair play towards defeated enemies. The story takes a sinister turn as he relates how the traditional enemies of free speech mounted a global vendetta to silence him around the world – but failed. In the second part, the writer talks about the controversy surrounding what has, since the 1970s, become known as the Holocaust and what historians should make of it. In this two-hour frank talk, he will enrage both friend and foe, but they may find it hard to fault his arguments.

As the description says, this DVD is completely unedited. Mr Irving really is "talking frankly". The first part of the DVD is about his life and career and the second part addresses a lot of FAQ about the holocaust. Fans of David Irving, particularly those who don't have an opportunity to attend his talks in person, will enjoy this DVD about their favourite author and historian.

A few evenings ago I stumbled upon this wonderful video quite by accident. Since then I have enjoyed it 3 times. I am overwhelmed by Mr. Irving’s ability to tell a story with such skill and depth of understanding. I found myself touching the screen on my IPad every few minutes in hopes that the video would not end soon. The subjects covered often depicted very sad and regrettable events in human history but Mr Irving handled them honestly, tactfully and truthfully with genuine respect for human life and empathy for any innocent whose lives were swallowed up in the conflict. I recommend this video to any seeker of truth, as Mr Irving calls it “real history”. We are living in a world that is rife with deception and lies. The very powerful forces that control the media and banking and politics have twisted history to suit their needs. The official story of the so called “holocaust” is the contorted result of a world wide deception intended to benefit but a fraction of the innocent that were swallowed up in WWII. This video is an honest depiction of these events that result from Mr Irvings lifetime of searching for the truth. This video rings true. I extend my greatest respect to Mr. Irving; despite suffering financially and enduring nonstop slur tactics at the hands of his enemies for decades, he has remained steadfast in his integrity to be a beacon of real history.
