Night Will Fall powerfully documents the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps. Using moving eyewitness testimonies, it reveals how combat and newsreel cameramen filmed the shocking scenes they encountered, and why, in 1945, a documentary aimed at proving the terrible events took place was never finished.
After acclaim at film festivals and a theatrical release last September, Night Will Fall will be on Channel 4 this month to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day, and then released by the BFI on DVD on 2 February 2015, with a host of contextualising extras including short films and exclusive interviews. The trailer is above.
