Summary: From case cover: Using footage completely unparalleled, A FILM UNFINISHED provides new insight into the Nazi propaganda machine, further exposing an agenda already known to be deceitful beyond our greatest beliefs. 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 film footage shot for "Ghetto", including multiple takes and cameraman staging the action, complicated earlier readings of the film. A FILM UNFINISHED presents this footage carefully noting fictionalized sequences (including a staged dinner party) falsely showing "the good life" enjoyed by Jewish urbanites, probing deep into the making of a now-infamous Nazi propaganda film. A film of enormous import, A FILM UNFINISHED documents some of the worst horrors of our time and exposes the efforts of its perpetrators to propel their agenda and cast it in a favorable light. From IMDb: A film about an unfinished film which portrays the people behind and before the camera in the Warsaw Ghetto, exposing the extent of the cinematic manipulation forever changing the way we look at historic images.
