Berklavisms
Synopsis
Latvia's history from the occupation in 1940 to the declaration of independence in 1990 is too complex to be reflected in black and white terms. One of the most prominent figures of this period is Eduards Berklavs. A high-ranking member of the Communist Party with an impeccable past, in the mid-1950s he began fighting against the policies implemented by his own party in Latvia.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
