Malajunta(1996)
Documentary about Argentina's last military dictatorship and the legacy of one of the most brutal waves of repression, death and horror in Latin American history. Numerous people—historians, musicians, journalists, children of the desaparecidos (the disappeared) and others—talk candidly about how difficult it has been to uncover information about the whereabouts of the 30,000 missing men and women who were kidnapped and presumed murdered by the military. The intensely personal stories about missing relatives and the scope of the military junta's repressive policies also explain why, even now, many people resist coming to terms with Argentina's bloody past.

Night Will Fall(en)
When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
