La Simienti del'Augua

La Simienti del'Augua tells the story of the restoration of Arab irrigation channels in the region of La Vera, Cáceres. Through the ancient practice of water sowing and harvesting, volunteers and local residents are reviving these water management techniques. The documentary shows how diverting rainwater and meltwater down slopes through dug channels promotes slow infiltration into the soil, preventing its rapid loss into rivers. The restoration of irrigation ditches improves environmental sustainability, promotes biodiversity, strengthens social cohesion, and revives cultural heritage. La Simienti del'Augua highlights how community unity and respect for traditions are key to addressing current environmental challenges.

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".
