In the Path of Giants

In Southern Bangladesh, hungry wild elephants trapped by the world’s largest refugee camp are rampaging over the land of local farmers. The result is a tense three-way stand-off between the refugees, local Bengalis and indigenous farmers, worsening already strained ethnic tensions. In 2017 Bangladesh opened its arms to nearly a million Rohingya who fled a violent regime of ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. But the camp built to house them unknowingly blocked the last migratory corridor for the local elephant population. With no easy escape, a Rohingya refugee, an indigenous farmer, a Bengali forest ranger and the shrinking population of wild elephants find themselves trapped in an impossible fight for land, freedom and a place to call home.

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".
