Leys, l'homme qui a déshabillé Mao

Simon Leys (born Pierre Ryckmans) was the first and most lucid denouncer of Maoist crimes, which caused the deaths of 60 to 100 million people. His book "The New Clothes of Chairman Mao," published in 1971, remains a reference on the subject. Paying tribute for the first time to this sinologist of astonishing culture, this "committed spectator" who looked the reality of Maoism squarely in the face, this film also tells the story of the price this man paid for his courage: immense loneliness. This documentary clearly shows the huge gap between what Leys sees in China and the revolutionary tune being played in the Latin Quarter. On the one hand, Simon Leys describes a Machiavellian Mao, cynical and drunk with power, who plunges the country into bloody chaos. On the other hand, in the West, young leftists and brilliant intellectuals blinded by propaganda dream of a perfect red Orient, of a pure revolution.

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".
