Overview:
The film tells how in the iron blockade of the blockade worked "the blood factory", the Institute of blood transfusion that provided the Leningrad front and the city in this strategic resource: blood donation. The blood bond between the city and its defenders was a very important factor in breaking the blockade and finally crushing the enemy. Due to a prolonged lack of food and a very great psychic stress the blood of the inhabitants of Leningrad has undergone phenomenal biochemical transformations which have had consequences for the following generations. The hypothesis confirmed by the latest research by geneticists and biologists is that this 900-day "forced fast" suffered by people during the blockade gave a post-war generation with a specific mentality and a spirit of sacrifice of the inhabitants. from Saint Petersburg.

Night Will Fall(en)
2014-06-07
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".
