A Miracle in the War

Pavel Astakhov, the presenter and author of the program "Simple Miracles", drove along the front line, collecting people's stories about their meeting with God in the war – unique first-hand accounts of saved lives, unexploded shells, survival against all odds, how shrines were protected from bullets and bombs, and minefields did not explode about how the laws of nature and the effects of explosive waves were violated, about the abundant myrrh of Donbass icons, about the power of prayer and the multiplication of battalions with the names of saints on the front line.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
