Colette (2020)

Colette Marin-Catherine fought the Nazis in the French Resistance as a young woman. At 90 she travels to Germany, to the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp near Nordhausen where her brother died, with a young aspiring historian, Lucie Fouble, at her side. Colette speaks plainly about what she lost, which keeps the film from ever feeling like a memorial service, and the bond with Lucie makes it a film about handing memory on as much as about the war. Anthony Giacchino's documentary won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Subject in 2021, and The Guardian, which released it, offers it free in full on its YouTube channel.
