The documentary examines the life and legacy of Holocaust survivor, Nobel Peace Prize–winning author, educator, and human rights advocate Elie Wiesel. The film traces how Wiesel’s experiences in Auschwitz and Buchenwald informed his writing, including the landmark memoir Night, and shaped his lifelong commitment to confronting injustice and indifference.
