Three Minutes: A Lengthening

In this poignant documentary, director Bianca Stigter masterfully brings to life three minutes of home movie footage shot by David Kurtz in 1938, capturing a snapshot of the Jewish inhabitants of Nasielsk, Poland, just before the devastating Shoah. The film is based on Glenn Kurtz's book Three Minutes in Poland, which recounts his grandfather's discovery of the footage and the process of identifying its location and individuals. Narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, the documentary offers a powerful tribute to the lives soon to be lost to unimaginable horror.
