Mao and Chan. Russian Children

The film tells about Sergei Yun-Fu, or Sergei Mao, the son of Mao Zedong, and Nikolai Elizarov, or Chiang Ching-guo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek. Both of them grew up, got an education and worked in the USSR. One fought as a tanker in the Soviet Army during the Great Patriotic War, the other was one of the leaders of Uralmash. But the Comintern and the NKVD equally disposed of their Russian destinies. Both were valuable figures in Stalin's game of influence in China and in the bitter struggle for power between the two Chinese dictators. Both returned to China to become companions of their fathers in this struggle. They themselves never met. Sergei died in the Korean War in 1950. Jiang Jingguo became the President of Taiwan.

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".
