Harlan: In The Shadow Of The Jew Suss

With never-before-seen archival footage, unearthed film excerpts, rare home movies and new interviews, Harlan - In the Shadow of "Jew Süss" is indeed a searing portrait of the controversial filmmaker and an eye-opening examination of World War II film history. But it also shows how Veit Harlan's family-especially the youngest generation-struggles even today with the dark myth of his artistic immorality. It's the story of a German family from the Third Reich to the present, one that is marked by reckoning, denial and liberation.
