Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
Errol Morris paints another vivid documentary portrait, this time training his eye on Fred Leuchter, an engineer whose specialty is repairing execution devices to make them "more humane." The story takes a cold shift into Holocaust denial when Leuchter is commissioned to prove that Auschwitz was not a gas chamber and the Holocaust, in fact, never happened. A disturbing portrait of the ordinary face of apathetic evil.

Preventing Genocide
Genocide has been repeated throughout history, but it was only in the 20th Century that people became horrified at the results - particularly because of the mechanism by which an entire people could be eliminated from the planet with cold efficiency. Sadly, few want to take the steps to prevent genocide even as it occurs around the world today.
