A Film Unfinished

Exposing Cinematic Manipulation During World War II

This potent documentary uses a long-lost film reel to illustrate how the Nazis controlled images of Jewish life during World War II. Though the Nazis made a propaganda movie of contented Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, the missing spool exposes the truth.

Nominated for Outstanding Historical Programming - Long Form at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards. Winner of the Editing Award and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema - Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.

"Yael Hersonski's A FILM UNFINISHED reclaims history, teaches a lesson about the reliability of images and raises unanswerable questions about complicity." - Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
