French documentarian Emil Weiss returns with Fuller to the site of the Falkenau concentration camp in former Czechoslovakia, which Fuller had helped to liberate forty years earlier. Images from haunting footage shot by Fuller at the camps—his first motion pictures—are carefully interwoven into this powerful and understated film.
