Pitch

The incredible true story of the artist and photographer - Villy Brasse - who, as the indentured photographer of the SS at Auschwitz, saw far more than most prisoners and took the ultimate risk to save and expose over 40,000 photos documenting one of the biggest acts of genocide in human history - the holocaust. Villy's story is of man's triumph over himself and the amazing testimony of an extraordinary witness to human history. Villy’s story provides the perfect bedrock for a deep narrative - one that touches universal themes of love and betrayal forced to photograph the wicked procedures of Dr. Josef Mengele at Auschwitz. The story will center around a daring and secret love affair between Brasse and Anna, Mengele’s indentured medical assistant.
