The Same Blood

After her sister's murder, Norma Mesino takes the helm of the Peasant Organization of the Southern Sierra, a group that for 30 years has been fighting for the human rights of peasants living in one of the poorest and most violent regions of Mexico. She carries the weight of a surname synonymous with struggle and resistance, marked by the Aguas Blancas massacre, imprisonments, assassinations, and disappearances, while in her daily life she continues her almost invisible work to overcome the atmosphere of hostility and impunity that surrounds her, thus fulfilling what seems to be her manifest destiny.

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".
