The Photographer of Mauthausen
Based on an incredible real story
Directed by Mar Targarona
Produced by Rodar y Rodar, Filmteam
A harrowing historical drama about a photographer's covert act of resistance within a concentration camp, driven by the moral imperative to document Nazi atrocities for justice.
Spanish photographer Francesc Boix, imprisoned in the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, works in the SS Photographic Service. Between 1943 and 1945, he hides, with the help of other prisoners, thousands of negatives, with the purpose of showing the freed world the atrocities committed by the Nazis, exhaustively documented. He will be a key witness during the Nuremberg Trials.
