Fear

Kazys Jonaitis, nicknamed the "Road Maniac," is considered the most notorious and perhaps the most vicious serial killer in Lithuania. The court has established that he would pick up girls for a ride, knock them unconscious with blows to the head, and rape them. The bodies of three girls were found, although it cannot be ruled out that there may have been more. Only one girl managed to escape from the maniac who was rampaging on the Vilnius-Kaunas road. The filmmakers interview the judge and prosecutor in charge of the case to reveal the details of this gruesome case, as well as obtain an interview with Kazys Jonaitis himself, who is currently serving a life sentence.

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".
