Lengé is a Baka pygmee. Among his people, in the Equatorial Forest of South-East Cameroon, Lengé is a tale-teller. He knows the stories of the beginning of the world and the melodies of Tibola, the white elephant. He saw the bird Fofolo, flying after the sun's rays. Deep from the distant ages, Lenge's face and voice recall Gbanga-Tita, God's calabash. "There was the river, the forest and the children..." He is the last tale-teller in this part of the forest.

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".
