Eighty
years after his liberation from Buchenwald, we seek to understand the man
behind the searing memoir Night. Told largely through his own
words and eloquent voice, Elie
Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and
unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) - his passions, his conflicts and his legacy as
one of the most public survivors of the Holocaust. With unique access to
archives, interviews and employing hand painted animation, the film illuminates
Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher and public figure. (2024, 87
mins)
