Using newly restored Allied footage from 1944–45, this documentary revisits the liberation of Nazi concentration camps and the effort to assemble an unflinching record of the crimes uncovered. It also explores how a planned film meant to serve as lasting evidence was later shelved for decades before being restored and completed.

About
You’ll likely connect with this if you want a sobering, real-world account of wartime atrocities and the fight to preserve evidence; Not for you if you avoid graphic archival footage or relentless subject matter like The Look of Silence.
Pros: harrowing real footage; powerful historical record; essential viewing | Cons: extremely graphic images; uneven, loosely assembled; some wanted full film
