Synopsis
The Consequences of Truth is a biographical auteur-led documentary that tells the story of Alfred Wetzler, a Slovak Jewish hero who warned the world about the Nazi extermination machinery and helped to save almost 150 000 lives. Yet he was persecuted and erased from history by his own communist government after the war. The film uses a combination of never-before-seen archives and creative reenactments to reimagine a unique life that unfolded against the backdrop of two totalitarian regimes.
