    Aaron and Melissa Dykes created Truthstream Media to figure out what in the hell is really going on around here... their words, not mine, but I agree 100% that the world today is becoming insane. The history repeats itself and we better learn! Melissa Dykes, the writer and the director, earned a master’s degree, but she never learned about the history of Japanese-American internment in school, and that includes completing two university level American history classes (one of which specifically covered WWII supposedly in-depth). She is asking a simple question: Why wasn’t this ever taught? This is a sad documentary where the human rights violations on the “minority” simply because of the majority’s hysteria and fear can be easily repeated today... relevant for today's state of the world, and we could seriously learn fron this story! Very good work of a 2 person team!

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".
