Prisoner of Paradise (2002), documentary directed by Malcolm Clarke and Stuart Sender. This movie tells the tragic story of Kurt Gerron, a popular and successful actor and director in 1930s Berlin. Gerron, a Jew, saw his career destroyed by Hitler's rise to power, and was later forced to write and direct a Nazi propaganda film about a concentration camp in which he was a prisoner. This story of one soul caught up in the Holocaust serves as an illustration of the entire massive horror that was visited on Europe's Jews by the Nazis. The captions are good. Grade: A-
