Farewell to Yesterday

140,000,000 Americans must see this picture! For every man, woman and child with a stake in freedom...with a hope of tomorrow lighting a blaze in their hearts!

A documentary depiction of the cultural and social forces which led the world to war in the 1930s and 1940s, beginning with the rise of Hitler after the failure of the victors of the First World War to create fertile ground for lasting peace. The march to war results in a global cataclysm which is depicted in all its variations, until final victory in the Second World War once again leaves the world unprepared to master peace.

Night Will Fall
Rated 7.6 on TMDB
Film, 2014
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".
