Synopsis
The Muyu Middle School in Muyu, Qingchuan County, Sichuan, collapsed in the 512 Wenchuan earthquake, killing 286 students according to official statistics; but the actual death toll is not just that. The director Pan Jianlin, who has been in the area since the sixth day after the earthquake, uses interviews to contrast the different perspectives and statements of the students who escaped the disaster, the teachers who are afraid of taking responsibility, the parents who are desperate, the government officials who are hiding the facts to maintain the government's image, and the rescue workers who are on the run, creating a ridiculous tragedy that is like a Rashomon.

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".
