Peabody Conversations: Night Will Fall
Night Will Fall deftly weaves two stories into one documentary tale - one about the atrocities of the Nazi concentration camps, the other about the changing policies of postwar reconstruction that pulled atrocity images into and out of public view. Tracing events associated with both the liberation of the concentration camps and the censorship that followed, Night Will Fall is a documentary gem: it seamlessly brings together original footage by American, British and Russian photographers and camera crews with on-site interviews among survivors and soldiers and conversations with archivists and filmmakers.
