    • Synopsis
    • Claude Lanzmann spent 12 years making the film Shoah. His quest to capture the reality of the Holocaust led him to interview victims, witnesses, and perpetrators from all over the world. Overcoming doubts, setbacks, and false starts, he embarked on an epic journey and ultimately created a landmark masterpiece, now part of UNESCO’s International Register of Memory of the World. Using only unseen excerpts from the 230 hours of footage from Shoah and told entirely through Lanzmann’s own words, director Guillaume Ribot reveals, for the first time, the gripping story behind the filming of one of cinema’s greatest works.
