In this gripping, disturbing and important work, filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Metallica: Some Kind of Monster and Brother’s Keeper) journeys to Austria with a group of journalists to witness the burial of the brains of some 700 children “euthanized” by the Nazis under the partial supervision of Dr. Heinrich Gross, “the Austrian Dr. Mengle.” Berlinger discovers that Dr. Gross is still alive. More shocking still is the fact that Gross continued his research on the preserved brains after the war and has received many awards from the Austrian government for this work. The film, which is structured around Berlinger’s attempts to interview Gross, raises difficult questions about the extent to which the mentality that allowed these crimes to take place persists in present-day Austria.  JG
