Getting Away with Murder(s)

'Getting Away With Murder'...remarkable and revelatory, a brilliantly unique, in depth and illuminating journey into the heart of darkness that was the Third Reich. For the first time, a truly detailed and fascinating account of the perpetrators of the Holocaust, chronicling the other 'survivors' who shepherded a nation's descent into a nightmare of unparalleled proportions, one of the darkest events in the history of mankind. A ground breaking tour de force, the film is an unprecedented examination of those among the nearly one million people behind one of the greatest crimes against humanity ever...those who literally, 'got away with murder'.

I had always presumed once Joseph Mengele escaped to Argentina that he remained in South America until his death. Not so. The truth about were he went and when and who he visited is truly disturbing. GETTING AWAY WITH MURDERS lays bare many uncomfortable truths - perhaps too many for some, especially those who try to deny that the holocaust ever happened.

Good documentaries tell stories, the best ones are films that the viewer learns from. And there is a lot to take in here. Emotion is overwhelming; anger and shame against compassion and sorrow.

This film really should form part of the school curriculum in the UK and beyond. Everything revealed within it could all so easily happen again, especially now in our post-truth age.

GETTING AWAY WITH MURDERS is essential viewing.

Dear Mr Wilkinson,

This is the most important document on the holocaust in recent years that I am aware of, and I try to keep up on the trickle that is left.

It is too easy to feel that we have seen what there is to be seen, felt what there is to be felt, and learned what there is to be learned about what is less than a generation away from being a breathless memory.

So I am very grateful for those who know remembering is a discipline akin to work. And have what is needed to maintain a steady gaze at the past, or even the gumption to unearth parts of it we have yet to look at.

A very well made and honestly intended film about how causes linger after their effects, and the vigilance we must keep.

"Getting Away with Murder(s)" : Is a phenomenal breakthrough documentary In that it starts playing with form, length and approach. I can not recommend David Nicholas Wilkinson's documentary highly enough. The film is about how 99% of Nazi genocide planners walked away, scot free, after WWII. It is not only moving, harrowing and instinctively powerful, it is a timely reminder of modern secret histories, and how governments rewriting the past allows atrocities to continue in to the future. It is David's most critically acclaimed work after decades of independent integrity within our film industry and is making Critic's several best films list for 2021. As a documentary maker myself I say it sets a new high bar for British documentaries.

Important, but ever sooo... dont misunderstand a simple grumpy old man... a very dry and tummy wringing longlasting and painful turtlerace of pace ,even for a documentary,the way its presented its only baiting in the most highly intellectuals thats due to age or other circumstances has been in touch with the nazi/genocide matters, and leaves the rest of the audience in a big monstrous yawn by the slit in the wall, a slit so narrow that they have to climb on top of eachother to even get a glimpse of understanding the historical facts of gruesomeness that took place at the european civilian war theater, where actually way, way way more than 6 mill were murdered and sent into oblivion due to mad mens wrung minds in german dungeons and ''liberation'' camps, not only jews, but handicapped, gypsies, gay people, military prisoners, political activists, even humanists mentioned as the tip of the iceberg.

Its a document of the past that wont fetch the masses due to the young generations historical disinterest made invalid by the in situ cravings of social media and other digital platforms of joy like war gaming and shootouts when grand theft auto...

human memory is short and genocides has happened in vast numbers after ww2, like the balkans in the 90's, the rwanda in 1994 and the red khmer of cambodia in the 70's, not to forget stalins gruesome machinery, and the ever so cloaked businesses of chairman maos china... it will happen again, and it might happen to you too, so wether or not its long and yawndrawn, do raise these issues among your next of kins and kids, it shows the cruel and also the extremely weak and cowardish among thehumankind.....
