Synopsis:
Claude Lanzmann spent 12 years creating “Shoah” (1985), a groundbreaking film that led him to interview victims, witnesses, and perpetrators from all over the world and redefined Holocaust representation.
40 years later, filmmaker Guillaume Ribot explores 220 hours of unreleased footage from Lanzmann’s masterpiece. Only using these never-before-seen excerpts and the director’s own words from his memoir, he tells the story of a man who embarked on an unparalleled journey, overcoming doubts, setbacks, and false leads, in a relentless pursuit to tell the untold.
