Eighty years after his family’s deportation during World War II, ELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE explores the man behind the searing book Night. A revealing documentary about the known and unknown sides of Wiesel - the movie explores his conflicts, memories, and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives, and using original interviews with his wife Marion and son Elisha, the film's unique perspective highlights Wiesel's passion for human rights, whether confronting President Ronald Reagan about visiting a German cemetery, or pleading with President Clinton to take action during the war in Bosnia. With hand-painted animation by Joel Orloff and a score by Osvaldo Golijov, ELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE illuminates the survivor, writer, teacher and public figure.
