"It is not only the school but also the prison that is a mirror of society," says a board member at Hällbyanstalten outside Eskilstuna. Here are the strong and the weak, the stupid - who eventually perish - and the smart who always manage at the expense of the stupid. Here are all the prejudices and all the humiliation, hatred and anger, indifference and wild dreams. Caregiver and cared for but where the words have lost their meaning. A film by Tom Alandh about plates and thieves and Folkhemsmoral.

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".
