Nobel Peace Prize winner, Elie Wiesel, wrote a profound memoir, Night, about his experiences at Auschwitz and Buchenwald that helped to shape the world's understanding of the Holocaust. This fascinating documentary reveals how Wiesel, an extremely articulate man, spoke in ways that profoundly connected with people. He wrote over 50 books, and taught for almost 40 years at Boston University. Told largely through Wiesel's own eloquent voice and words, with rare photos, archival footage, hand-painted animation, and interviews with family members, this engrossing film provides an unparalleled look at the many chapters of Wiesel's life. Filmed over three years by award-winning director, Oren Rudavsky, this is a compelling and uplifting film that has been shown at multiple film festivals in the USA, and at the 2025 Docaviv Festival, in Israel.
