Over a decade in the making, Luke Holland’s documentary Final Account explores how a generation of children were indoctrinated into a culture of hatred and genocide through never-before-seen and shocking interviews among those who grew up in Nazi Germany. 

Both thought provoking and emotionally impactful, Final Account is an urgent reminder that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.

Sadly, Luke Holland, the filmmaker, died three months before the premiere of Final Account at the Venice Film Festival in 2020.

“★★★★ A simple, unadorned study of everyday evil… shows how a hundred shades of grey combine to make a darkness.” – The Guardian

"★★★★...a monumental achievement, an implacable and revealing record of the corruption of a generation." — Paul Byrnes, The Sydney Morning Herald

“Sobering.” – The Hollywood Reporter

“An essential document.” – Cineuropa
