Film Lesson: Night and Fog
The film "Night and Fog" was a 1955 documentary directed by Alain Resnais about the Nazi concentration camps in World War II. I have seen many photos of the holocaust but I have never seen actual footage of the camps. The footage was extremely powerful as I have never seen how exactly the Nazis actions were carried out, only the results of those actions. When I compare this to "Schindler's List", I see this as a more powerful film. This is because since "Schindler's List" was a movie by a Hollywood director, I mostly saw it as a movie. "Night and Fog" showed real footage of what the Jews went through in the concetration camps.
