"Fate does funny things sometimes..." A fascinating mix of hand-drawn animation and doc storytelling, this award-winning short film is now available to watch online. The Driver is Red is a short doc film made by animation filmmaker Randall Christopher, and after picking up awards at major festivals all throughout 2018, it's now available for everyone to see. Set in Argentina 1960, this true crime documentary film follows secret agent Zvi Aharoni as he searches for a mysterious man named Ricardo Klement. What he discovered in the remote outskirts of Buenos Aires would send shock waves around the world. Featuring Mark Pinter as the voice of Zvi Aharoni. I appreciate how unique, and how detailed, the sketch-style animation is in this. Thanks to Short of the Week for debuting this online.

Hidden away on the other side of the world 15 years after World War II ended, a team of agents from an Israeli security agency intercepted a man named Ricardo Klement, a name they knew to be an alias for Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Nazi’s “Final Solution.”
This fascinating story has been the subject of several books, articles, documentaries and features, including, most recently, “Operation Finale,” starring Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley as Eichmann and opening in theaters this week.
According to one filmmaker, “Operation Finale” isn’t even the whole story. Randall Christopher is the director of “The Driver Is Red,” a short film making the festival circuit that played at Sundance earlier this year and also just won TheWrap’s Industry Prize at the ShortList Film Festival.

What happens when a prosecutor tracks down one of the most evil criminals of the century, only to find that politics and corruption prevent him from issuing an arrest warrant? This is the true story of the hunt for the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann — not from the Pov of the Israeli agents that pounced on him in Argentina, but a German prosecutor hemmed in on all sides by Nazi sympathizers in his own government bureaucracy.
