Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire (2026)
Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald, this film seeks to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel’s searing and widely-read memoir, Night. Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) — his passions, his conflicts, and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives, original interviews, and employing hand-painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher, public figure, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Soul on Fire is a testament to an extraordinary man who helped shape our collective memory of the darkest chapter of the 20th century.
