SYNOPSIS
A film about an unfinished film which portrays the people behind and before the camera in the Warsaw Ghetto, exposing the extent of the cinematic manipulation forever changing the way we look at historic images.
REVIEW
A Film Unfinished is an interesting documentary about some film footage simply titled 'the ghetto', which is about the largest Jewish ghetto established by the Nazis in Warsaw, Poland. Although it is unknown why the film was ever made and why it was never released, it is believed that it is produced for propaganda purposes.
Several Jewish individuals have decided to write about their experiences at the time, and their diaries have provided some information about the filming that occurred in May 1942 at the Warsaw ghetto. Excerpts from the diaries of Adam Czerniakow, Emanuel Ringelblum, Chaim Kaplan, Abraham Lewin, Rachel Auerback, Jonas Turkow, Ben Shem, and Hersh Waser provided some of the narration for the film.
