"A Film Unfinished"

Directed by Yael Hersonski & Produced by Noemi Schrori & Itay Ken Tor - Israel

During World War II, Nazi propagandists took on an assignment to create a film about the Jewish ghetto that had been established in Warsaw. The idea behind the project was clearly to cast the Jewish refugees in an unflattering light (most of whom would soon meet their fate in Nazi death camps), but the film was never completed, though the rough footage was discovered in Nazi archives after the fall of the Third Reich.
