Overcoming doubt, setbacks and false leads, he embarked on an unparalleled journey culminating in a landmark masterpiece.Only using Lanzmann’s own words drawn from his memoirs and never-before-seen excerpts, Guillaume Ribot pays homage to one of cinema’s masterpieces and to its director’s relentless pursuit of telling the untold.
