This deeply moving, visually captivating testament of Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel honors a towering voice of the Holocaust, whose moral clarity and eloquence have guarded its memory for generations. Now 80 years since his liberation from Buchenwald, Wiesel’s odyssey as a survivor, eminent writer, and global advocate for human rights resonates with profound urgency, as memories of the Holocaust fade in today’s fractured world. This consequential life story illuminates his struggles, passions, and lasting legacy in his own stirring words.
Through highly personal reflections, Wiesel recounts his childhood in Sighet, Romania; the horrors he endured in Nazi concentration camps; and the devastating loss of his family. His seminal 1958 memoir, Night, which defined Holocaust literature, is woven with his conflicts with faith, his moral evolution as a leader in the fight against indifference, and his tireless advocacy for human dignity. Wiesel’s inner conflicts, from reconciling with his past to the moral weight of his public role, reveal a conscience-keeper who shaped personal trauma into universal wisdom.
Award-winning filmmaker Oren Rudavsky incorporates exclusive interviews, rare archival material, and hand-painted animation to create this essential, emotionally-layered tribute. Wiesel’s courage and untiring devotion to preserving history’s lessons, educate and inspire audiences young and old, across faiths and creeds, to reflect on humanity’s shared responsibility.
