Groundswell

In the 1990s, in the city of Mar del Plata, about thirty women disappeared and were murdered, most of them sex workers. A serial killer that was given the name of “El Loco de la Ruta” was blamed for these crimes. Every investigation that had to do with these crimes was half-hearted and defective; the stigmatization of the victims was much more intense than any aim at justice. In a decade pierced by impunity and social discontent, the women, most of them still unorganized, were the only ones to raise their voices and take the cold city streets reclaiming justice.

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".
