"Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State" (2005)
From Netflix: "This BBC documentary series tackles one of World War II's -- and history's -- most disquieting and repugnant subjects: the Holocaust and its infamous killing factory, Auschwitz-Birkenau. The location, set up by Nazis and specializing in the atrocious, industrialized extermination of more than one million Jews, is explored in this six-part program, from "Surprising Beginnings" to "Liberation & Revenge.""
300 minutes long. That's 5 hours. WOW.
Needless to say, I watched this in shifts. LONGEST FILM YET.
Oh, another important note, I didn't watch the whole thing.
The "film" is divided in 6 "episodes", and the first one deals with how Auschwitz even came to be, why that site was chosen, etc. Rather boring. Then of course, there's interviews with former nazis that STILL do not see anything wrong with their actions throughout the war. That's enough to make me want to kick an old man in the face, to say the least. Piece of shit humans.
It's a PBS documentary, and it plays out as such. Maybe one day when I'm VERY bored and in the mood to get angry to the point of tears, I'll dig this up again and watch the next episode. Otherwise, don't count on a much more detailed review of this film.
