Eighty years ago, teenage Elie Wiesel was liberated from Auschwitz and Buchenwald. His haunting 1958 memoir, Night, has become one of the principal texts of Holocaust literature and has been translated into 30 languages. Wiesel became a teacher, international spokesperson, and Nobel Peace Prize-winner; the documentary offers a new look at his private and philosophical life, largely told in his own words.

Featuring original interviews, personal archival materials, and Joel Orloff’s hand-painted animations, acclaimed filmmaker Oren Rudavsky’s latest documentary powerfully explores the life and legacy of one of the most important public figures of the 20th century.
