SBS TV, FRIDAY THE 14TH SEPTEMBER 9.30-10.30 PM
Rewriting History
looks at how the Holocaust happened, how it is remembered and how it affects the lives of Jews today.
Rewriting History is a film about the Holocaust in Lithuania,
the current attempt rewrite an inconvenient history, and the inspiring David Vs
Goliath campaign of two
individuals to fight for the historical truth.
Rewriting History is about a clash of historical experiences,
the Nazi Holocaust and Stalinist occupation, and how the way this past is
remembered shapes the present.
With Europe on the edge of an economic precipice, the
far right is again resonating at the polls. Against this backdrop of rising
Ultra - Nationalism, Rewriting History
is about taking action in the face of insurmountable odds, as two unlikely
heroes decide to stand in the way of the Lithuanian Government's campaign to
remove an inconvenient WWII history from the annals of the European
Union. It is a David Vs Goliath tale
that bears testament to the power of conviction and the importance of fighting
for the truth.
