The Sorrow and the Pity is a documentary film, over four hours long, made in 1969 by Marcel Ophüls, a German born French-Jewish filmmaker. Ophüls interviewed a number of Nazi-collaborators in French, made easier by making the film only twenty five years after the fall of the Nazi-supported Vichy regime. The Sorrow and the Pity is widely held as one of the most important documentaries in film history, for both its filmmaking techniques and its ability to find information from important historical figures.
