Jacob Burns Film Center: Shoah

Claude Lanzmann’s nine-and-a-half hour Holocaust documentary Shoah stands four decades after its release as one of the greatest of all films. Yet because of its imposing length, it is rarely screened. Bringing together the testimony of survivors, witnesses, perpetrators, historians, and more, without any use of archival footage, Shoah is as much a work of art as it is an essential work of reportage.
