The home movies Glenn Kurtz found in his parents’ home in Florida were rarer and more precious still. The film explores the amateur footage his grandfather shot on a European trip in 1938, focusing on members of the Jewish community in Nasielsk, Poland, just one year before the Nazis invaded on their murderous campaign.

A great film about filmmaking and a quietly devastating memorial for lives long gone.

The most haunting and perhaps the best documentary of the year.
