Night Will Fall is a documentary that explores the power of film in documenting warfare, specifically the liberation of Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The film draws from historic footage of the 1945 British documentary German Concentration Camps Factual Survey, which was shelved for political reasons, and features interviews with survivors and liberators. The film delves into the production of the 1945 documentary, including the involvement of famed director Alfred Hitchcock, and examines why the film was never released.
