Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire offers a deeply personal portrait of one of the most important Jewish voices of the twentieth century. Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald concentration camp, this powerful documentary seeks to understand the man behind the searing memoir Night. Through Wiesel’s own words and voice, along with rare archival materials, original interviews, and gorgeous, evocative hand-painted animation, the film explores the inner life, passions, and convictions of Elie Wiesel: Holocaust survivor, writer, teacher, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Tracing Wiesel’s journey from his childhood in Sighet to his emergence as one of the world’s most recognized witnesses to the Holocaust, the film illuminates how his writings and public advocacy helped shape global understanding of memory, moral responsibility, and the dangers of indifference.
