The Butcher of Mauthausen

Directed by Brennan Columbia-Walsh

Director Brennan Columbia-Walsh's historical drama feature is set in 1941 Germany, following Dr. Friedrich Kaiser, a secretly Jewish epidemiologist who is recruited by SS physician Aribert Heim, the real-life 'Butcher of Mauthausen,' to join the Nazi Party and develop biological weapons. A searing exploration of complicity, survival, and impossible moral choices in the shadow of the Holocaust. An ambitious and unflinching work of independent historical cinema.
