Eagles' Jeffrey Lurie's Film Company Announces 'The Meaning of Hitler' Movie

Play/Action Picture, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's documentary film company, announced the completion of its first movie Thursday, titled The Meaning of Hitler.

Lurie will serve as an executive producer for the doc, which is described as "an interrogation of our culture’s fascination with Hitler and Nazism set against the backdrop of the current rise of white supremacy, the normalization of antisemitism and the weaponization of history itself that was filmed in nine countries over three years," per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The timing of the announcement is noteworthy after Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson received public criticism for recently posting anti-Semitic quotes falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler. Jackson later apologized in an Instagram video.

Jackson wrote in his caption for the video:

"I post a lot of things that are sent to me. I do not have hatred towards anyone. I really didn't realize what this passage was saying. Hitler has caused terrible pain to Jewish people like the pain African-Americans have suffered. We should be together fighting anti-Semitism and racism. This was a mistake to post this and I truly apologize for posting it and sorry for any hurt I have caused."

The Eagles released a statement rebuking Jackson's posts as "absolutely appalling."

Lurie, 68, was born into a Jewish family.
