The young man has an incredible story to tell, but in my opinion, they sucked the emotional impact out of the story with some poor production decisions.
The majority of the film is him telling his story in a low, soft, emotionless monotone...with incredibly long pauses in between his thoughts where the camera just stares at him...total silence...again and again. Unnecessarily purposely uncomfortable
The cartoon artist renderings of hellish camp life seemed awkward and inappropriate for the subject matter. And then suddenly someone else is being interviewed, but they don't tell you who it is...you have to figure it out on your own.
It got better towards the end when he began making speeches. But overall, I felt like, in the hands of a different producer this amazing story could have been told to a much greater impact.
It struck me as a lost opportunity.
I agree, but I am willing to look past a poor production and let my imagination run. Perhaps I read too much, but when I read a subtitled film, my imagination fills in a lot of details that are not on the upper half of the screen.
The bottom line is this story needs to be told, and told better. It is pure evil and we need to know how to identify evil or be sucked into it as so many nations have in the past.
