Destination Unknown blends intimate testimony with immersive archive to bring the stories of twelve Holocaust survivors to the screen.
They endured the death camps. They hid in remote farms. They fought as partisans in Polish forests. But when the war ended, the struggles of the Holocaust survivors were only just beginning. Destination Unknown paints a uniquely intimate portrait of survival, revealing pain that has never faded but hasn't crushed the human spirit.
Some pain can never be overcome. Some of the very last Holocaust survivors give an unprecedented insight into the memories that still haunt them. The Producer follows them for over a decade as they make a last attempt to confront their trauma, by revisiting the camps or revealing their deepest secrets. Their final question is one that will haunt us too: What was the cost of their survival?
