| A Film Unfinished At the end of WWII, 60 minutes of raw film, having sat undisturbed in an East German archive, was discovered. Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May 1942, and labeled simply “Ghetto,” this footage quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto. However, the later discovery of a long-missing reel, inclusive of multiple takes and cameraman staging scenes, complicated earlier readings of the footage. A FILM UNFINISHED presents the raw footage in its entirety, carefully noting fictionalized sequences (including a staged dinner party) falsely showing “the good life” enjoyed by Jewish urbanites, and probes deep into the making of a now-infamous Nazi propaganda film. A FILM UNFINISHED is a film of enormous import, documenting some of the worst horrors of our time and exposing the efforts of its perpetrators to propel their agenda and cast it in a favorable light. Starring Alexander Beyer, Rüdiger Vogler Genre - Documentary View trailers and video clips |  |

Starring Jenn Proske, Matt Lanter, Charlie Weber, Ken Jeong, Marcelle Baer, Chris Riggi Genre - Comedy View trailers and video clips |  crude sexual content, comic violence, language and teen partying |
