Synopsis
Inspired by Laurel Leff’s award-winning book Buried by the Times, this film explores how The New York Times handled reports of The Holocaust during World War II. It also explores why The Times, a Jewish-owned newspaper, buried more than one thousand articles in its back pages. Through interviews and testimony of a Holocaust survivor, historians, journalists, and American citizens who lived through World War II, Reporting on the Times encourages audiences to reevaluate America’s place as The Great Liberator and to recognize the power of the press in creating change.
