Story line and plot, This is what Hollywood needed to do -and what not- to expose Nazi Germany's intentions --- It is a well-documented film with great interviews and original footage to prove that cinema can be used to fight for the right and wrong of world events --- In my book this is a great film to illustrate how everyone turned their back on what Hitler was doing against the Judaism --- Nevermore, please --- Some of the raw footage is missing when American troops discovered the death camps --- However, the narration accomplished the feelings of those who were watching back then --- Produced for the cable television network American Movie Classics, Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust was premiered at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.
