Final Account

Final Account is an urgent portrait of the last living generation of everyday people to participate in Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. Over a decade in the making, the film raises vital, timely questions about authority, conformity, complicity and perpetration, national identity, and responsibility, as men and women ranging from former SS members to civilians in never-before-seen interviews reckon with in very different ways their memories, perceptions and personal appraisals of their own roles in the greatest human crimes in history.

Critic Reviews:

• " Final Account is a masterpiece that puts Luke Holland in the same league as the great documentarian of the Holocaust's af­termath, Marcel Ophüls. It's unmissable. " – Saskia Baron (The Arts Desk)

• " As with Claude Lanzmann's seminal Shoah (1985), Final Account cracks open the heart of darkness using little more than a camera and a microphone. " – Hilary A White (Sunday Independent, Ireland)

• " Shot and edited with a hushed stoicism, the documentary strikes an appropriately sobering tone as people describe horrors they witnessed. " – Rich Cline (Shadows on the Wall)
