At first I hated this film! Immediately you know it is very low budget. But more so the horrible camera work (hand held medium shots ala Blair Witch Project)
and the chaos of noise and lights (such annoying use of spot lights)
it made it all hard to watch! Yup just another underfunded, overly dramatic, poorly directed MFTV movie!
But hold on the setting of the film is totally unique a setting that begs the question what would it be like to take responsibility for 60,000 starved, typhus infected, highly contagious prisoners in a camp where there were over 13,000 additional corpses lying around rotting. Pretty disgusting and most challenging!
This film is about the individuals who faced that in the liberation of Bergen Belsen. It is a true story with little fabrication. It is based on the memoirs of those who lived it. Mostly it is about the shock of the West's first encounter with the horror of the Nazis death camps and its initial response to it.
This is a film about heroes and their dedication to saving lives. It presents a story about a situation that few are familiar with. It is informative and it has great historical context. We need to remember these individuals and what they did!
This is not a fancy film it is a low budget docudrama that successfully uses a fine set of unknown actors stock film and narration to tell a remarkable story. Well done!
