In April, the month of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day, the OnDIRECTV channel and the DIRECTV GO streaming platform will screen the award-winning Argentine films La Casa de Wannsee (The House on Wannsee Street) and Lea y Mira dejan su huella (Lea and Mira).
April 2022 – On Wednesday, April 27 DIRECTV will air two documentaries as part of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day. La Casa de Wannsee and Lea y Mira dejan su huella can be seen exclusively on the OnDIRECTV channel and will also be available through the DIRECTV GO streaming platform.
La Casa de Wannsee begins at 9:30 p.m. Driven by her son’s decision to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah, the film’s director Poli Martínez Kaplun, herself never an observant person, goes in search of her Jewish family’s roots Through photos, family films from the early 20th century and a trip to the house on the outskirts of Berlin where her philosopher great-grandfather, Otto Lipmann, used to live, Poli manages to deconstruct memory beyond that which leaves testimony and her strategy consists of bringing about encounters in places where the scores seemed to have been settled. The documentary received the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Miami Jewish Film Festival.
Next, at 11 p.m., OnDIRECTV presents Lea y Mira dejan su huella, a documentary about two women living in Buenos Aires who, as children, were deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp. Also directed by Martínez Kaplun, the film portrays the thoughts of these intimate friends who, in the twilight of their lives, and with the wisdom of having survived the unimaginable, offer the keys to the power of life.
Lea y Mira dejan su huella won Best Documentary at the Punta del Este Jewish Film Festival and was recognized at the Hollywood International Independent Documentary Film Awards for its direction, music and editing.
