HBO Documentary Films has picked up the U.S. TV rights to Adam Benzine's documentary about iconic French director Claude Lanzmann. Lanzmann's landmark 1985 documentary Shoah is considered among the best films ever made about the Holocaust. HBO plans a 2016 broadcast debut for Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah, possibly on Holocaust Memorial Day. Lanzmann's film about Nazi death camps in Poland debuted at the Berlin Film Festival in 1986, and was groundbreaking in including no archival footage. Shoah featured instead the Nazi death camp sites of Auschwitz, Treblinka and Chelmno 40 years after the war, and interviews with Jewish survivors, German perpetrators and Polish bystanders.??
