This was a painful film to watch. Most of the film focuses on the men in the camp and the two men trying to get out to contact the Resistance. They don't get to write the report or talk to anyone about what happened until the last 20 minutes of the film. The agony they suffer just to get to that point is excruciating.
And then it's a different kind of suffering to see that they are not believed because the enormity of the crime seemed incredible. The men must have felt so frustrated that they had risked everything to tell the truth and other men at the camp died helping them yet the outcome they wanted did not occur.
This film is about man's inhumanity to man. They did get some kindness on their journey otherwise they would not have survived so they had to be thankful for that.... But the larger tragedy is overwhelming...
