Synopsis
Directed by Sam Mendes, this is the story of two soldier-cameramen, Sgt. Mike Lewis and Sgt. Bill Lawrie, who witnessed the liberation of Belsen during the closing days of World War II. By immersing audiences in their eyewitness accounts through the footage they shot, married with audio interviews (recorded by the Imperial War Museum in the 1980s) describing their experiences in detail, the film becomes an intimate and personal record of two ordinary men’s defining experience of the war and, through them, of the profound trauma and tragedy of the Holocaust.
