Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald, we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel's searing and widely read memoir Night. Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) -- his passions, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives, original interviews and employing hand painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher and public figure.

Alexander Miller MovieJawn In light of recent events, it’s safe to say that after watching Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire, we can still look to the writers and the artists for guidance, and right now, that’s a valuable lesson. Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A heartfelt, insightful and well-edited documentary biopic. Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Peter Keough Arts Fuse Though Rudavsky eloquently includes archival footage and judiciously applies the now overused device of animated reenactments, it is that face, those eyes, that voice, and those words that make this such a stunning film. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Brandon Judell Brandon Judell (Medium) Moving on to the more disquieting, this devastating, necessary documentary concerns being a witness to history and then disseminating the horrors that the world means to forget or maybe worse . . . distort and make light of.
