Featuring interviews with Steven Spielberg, Sidney Lumet and other prominent filmmakers and historians, IMAGINARY WITNESS takes the viewer on a 60-year journey of American ambivalence during the heyday of Nazism, through the silence of the post-war years, and into the end of the 20th century. Using rare newsreel footage as well as gripping clips from over forty films (SCHINDLER'S LIST, SOPHIE'S CHOICE and more), this thrilling documentary explores Hollywood s involvement with and attitude towards one of the most horrific events in world history.
