Night Will Fall

Army and newsreel cameramen accompanying Allied forces as they liberated Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45 documented their terrible discoveries, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Sidney Bernstein of Britain's Ministry of Information, using British, Soviet, and American footage, aimed to craft a documentary that would serve as lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis' unspeakable crimes. He assembled a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer Richard Crossman, and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial government backing, the film was shelved, only to be restored and completed 70 years later.
