Mine is very simple...Night and Fog.
32 minutes of living hell............................... This is my review from IMBD (Internet Movie Data Base)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048434/
(a documentary on the holocaust) I wrote this 14 years ago, and still believe it is true. If you go to this film at IMBD, most other reviewers say exactly the same thing, so powerful, it is in a class by itself.....and totally true..
10/10
The Most Powerful Film Ever Made
stuartpiles16 November 2004
If you want to describe or give your audience a feeling for the holocaust, or "Man's Inhumanity To Man", then this is the vehicle to use..Show it..be warned, it is so powerful, that you will never forget what you see, neither will any of your viewers..It is impossible to describe, intermixing l955 footage of Auchwitz Concentration Camp, with captured Nazi footage which the allies found at the end of the war, and the scenes of American and British troops liberating the camps...In French, with English subtitles.. and scenes that are unforgettable and horrific. Even the sad music of death from this film plays in my ears, and I have not seen it in 15 years. Once you hear it, you will know.
This is the one to show if you want people to understand the truth of what happened and the reason for its reaction in today's current events....It is shocking in a special way. I showed it to my classes. Students were warned, and told what was coming, they said it would be "nothing" By the end some were crying and moaning in horror...
