Osemročný Bruno je synom nacistického dôstojníka, ktorý je povýšený a potom odvelený z pohodlia Berlína do opustenej oblasti na vidieku. Bruno, ktorého staršia sestra už má iné záujmy, sa cíti osamelý a nemá sa s kým hrať. Z nudy a zo zvedavosti neposlúchne matkino varovanie, že sa nemá vzďaľovať od domu, a vydá sa k neďalekej "farme". Netuší, že je to koncentračný tábor, kde sa v praxi vykonáva "konečné riešenie" židovskej otázky. Náhodou sa však stretne s rovnako starým Shmuelom, ktorý je oblečený do pruhovaného "pyžama" rovnako ako kuchár, ktorý pre Brunovu rodinu varí. Hoci chlapec na druhej strane plotu s ostnatým drôtom žije úplne iný život ako Bruno, dvojica sa skamaráti a Bruno si zvoľna začína uvedomovať, aký je naozaj svet dospelých. Stret s realitou 2. svetovej vojny však pre oboch chlapcov končí tragicky ... Dráma podľa románu Johna Boynea, ktorá ukazuje z neobvyklého pohľadu brutalitu, nezmyselnosť a zničujúce dôsledky vojny, natočil režisér Mark Herman.

A portrait of the life and career of the infamous American execution device designer Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. Mr. Leuchter was an engineer who became an expert on execution devices and was later hired by holocaust revisionist historian Ernst Zundel to "prove" that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz. Leuchter published a controversial report confirming Zundel's position, which ultimately ruined his own career. Most of the footage is of Leuchter, working in and around execution facilities or chipping away at the walls of Auschwitz, but Morris also interviews various historians, associates, and neighbors.
On the 29th September 1945, the incomplete rough cut of a brilliant documentary about concentration camps was viewed at the MOI in London. For five months, Sidney Bernstein had led a small team – which included Stewart McAllister, Richard Crossman and Alfred Hitchcock – to complete the film from hours of shocking footage. Unfortunately, this ambitious Allied project to create a feature-length visual report that would damn the Nazi regime and shame the German people into acceptance of Allied occupation had missed its moment. Even in its incomplete form (available since 1984) the film was immensely powerful, generating an awed hush among audiences. But now, complete to six reels, this faithfully restored and definitive version produced by IWM, is being compared with Alain Resnais’ Night and Fog (1955).
