Say your dad killed 75,000 people. He’s a mass murderer. Can you live with that? Or would it destroy your life?

Perfect Pair
In a phone interview with the Epoch Times, British human rights lawyer Philippe Sands (executive-producer and author of the film’s narration, as well as interviewer/moderator of these Nazi descendants) said, “Nature could not have found a more perfect pair than these two.”
Meaning, that as subjects, these men are diametrically opposed in their experiences and outlooks and therefore perfectly create the tension and conflict necessary to keep any line of storytelling interesting.
