The Voice of Conscience

The film, “Zameer” (The Voice of Conscience), is built around the experiences of women who were drawn into movements of resistance as they have unfolded in India since the new millennium and were jailed for their participation in movements defending lands, livelihoods and ways of living that were being eroded since the turn of the millennium. As lands, forests and sea coasts are turned into battlegrounds for “development” women are drawn into movements to defend their right to their homelands, their own histories and their own understanding of an organic way of being. Jailed for their activities women experience violence from the prison system but they also find solidarities and deep friendships created and sustained in the time of incarceration which become life-long bonds.

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".
