Mrs Hitler

Sarah Schultz has a shoplifting problem. For weeks she's ignored and excused; like most Germans, her head is full of Nazi horror films and she's self-consciously white. Terrified of being branded a racist and ostracised. The boy taking the gum is an immigrant. She's tongue-tied. The problem's snowballing. Until today. Today she is going to say something..

Her intervention becomes a clash with the 'new Germans', becomes a local media catastrophe. She's ostracised, her life ruined, shop destroyed. She flees to a cottage in the central hills of Germany. Two years pass. Recovering, thinking, planning. A similar clash exposes her whereabouts and journalists flock, keen to pillory her once more. She escapes to London with grand revenge in mind.

Sarah runs for an independent seat in parliament. Her speeches, her debates, her scrapes with death and rebellious beliefs. Protestors, would-be assassins, devotees, and journalists, they both help and hate her. She evolves from a sideshow into a serious threat. Her poll numbers grow.

Post-election she travels to the US, invited to appear on a talk show. Every step causes controversy, from New York to Los Angeles - and it's there, in the heart of Hollywood, in front of a global audience, she has her climactic debate, with her harshest opponents, and where her fate will be determined in more ways than one.
