In August, 2014, a video of the public execution of American photojournalist James Foley rippled across the globe. Foley wore an orange jumpsuit as he knelt beside an ISIS militant dressed in black. That image challenged the world to deal with a new face of terror. And it tested one American family. Seen through the lens of filmmaker Brian Oakes, Foley’s close childhood friend, Jim takes us from small-town New England to the adrenaline-fueled front lines of Libya and Syria, where Foley pushed the limits of danger to report on the plight of civilians impacted by war.

En 1945, le cinéaste Alfred Hitchcock est engagé pour superviser le montage d'un documentaire produit par l'armée britannique sur la libération des camps de concentration nazis. Un film qui était destiné à montrer au peuple allemand les atrocités qui avaient été commises en son nom par les nazis. Une fois le film terminé, celui-ci fut cependant enterré pour des raisons politiques et jamais diffusé. Il fut alors simplement déposé à l'Imperial War Museum, à Londres, où dans les années 1980, les pellicules y ont été redécouvertes par un chercheur américain. Le film a fait l'objet d'une restauration complète respectant les choix du cinéaste. "Night Will Fall" retrace l’histoire de ce film pas fini, qui était connue longtemps sous le nom "The missing Hitchcock"...
