7) Shoah (1985)

Claude Lanzmann’s 566-minute documentary tells the story of the Holocaust through interviews with survivors, witnesses, and former Nazis. It avoids archival footage, focusing on the spoken words of those who lived through it. The length allows for a full account of the events, giving space to every perspective. Each testimony builds a detailed picture of what happened, ensuring nothing is rushed or overlooked. It remains one of the most important records of this period in history.
