Jackie and Greg discuss Claude Lanzmann's nine-hour-plus eyewitness account of the Holocaust, SHOAH from 1985. Topics of discussion include Lanzmann's approach as a filmmaker, the 11 years it took to make the film, the portrayal of Nazis in subsequent media, and why it's the most essential piece of nonfiction cinema ever made.
