The Zone of Interest: A personal visit to Auschwitz

Talking Movies presenter Tom Brook confronts Auschwitz, and his own Jewish ancestry, to take a closer look at the Oscar-nominated film.

The Zone of Interest takes a unique point of view, telling the story of Auschwitz's horror through the prism of the relatively mundane family life of its Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss.

It's also drawn particular praise for its distinct use of sound, which serves to amplify the horror and juxtaposition of what was happening on the other side of the garden walls.
