The Grey Zone
The story you've never seen.
Directed by Tim Blake Nelson
Produced by The Goatsingers, Millennium Media
A harrowing, morally unflinching examination of impossible choices and complicity within the machinery of genocide at Auschwitz.
The story of Auschwitz's twelfth Sonderkommando — one of the thirteen consecutive "Special Squads" of Jewish prisoners placed by the Nazis in the excruciating moral dilemma of assisting in the extermination of fellow Jews in exchange for a few more months of life.
