About this movie

NIGHT WILL FALL is the story of the incredible efforts made by British cameramen to film and document the unbelievable atrocities the Allies encountered during the Liberation of the German Concentration camps in 1945 at the end of World War II. The Ministry of Information's Sidney Bernstein collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock to make a documentary that was to provide undeniable proof that these frightful crimes actually happened. For a number of reasons that Andre Singer's powerful film explores the film was ultimately shelved and languished in British archives for years until the Imperial War Museum completed the film in 2014. In this intimate and emotional film we meet the cameramen and the survivors who participated in the original documentary and tell their unforgettable stories for the first time.

Rides A Broom

This wasn't that long ago and it is all too possible for something of this magnitude to happen again. We've been conditioned to obey, we don't run the gov't, the gov't runs US. I give it 5 stars not because I "loved it", but because it's important for everyone to see it. The evil never left after the liberation of these death camps, in fact- evil is raising its nasty, vile head even more during these times.

It's not "all too possible this could happen again", Rides a Broom is right about some things but atrocities of this magnitude simply cannot occur. People are too informed to worldly events for something like this to happen again.
