This documentary follows a Holocaust survivor's healing process. I didn't really understand that healing would be the focus of the movie when I set out to watch it, but it was interesting nonetheless. Dr. Mengele was a Nazi doctor at Auschwitz that preformed experiments on twins at the death camp.
The history of Dr. Mengele was what initially drew me to the documentary. The historical aspect probably takes up 1/4 or 1/3 of the movie. The rest of the movie examines how Eva Kor has lived, following the experiments that were preformed on her at Auschwitz. Kor is not your typical Holocaust survivor and it was interesting to see the tension between her and the other "Mengele Twins."
The documentary was interesting, but I don't think it was particularly moving for a Holocaust survivor story. It was also somewhat slow moving and boring at times. However it approaches the Holocaust in a unique way (forgiveness, healing, etc.). I gave it a 2/5 on Netflix, but I'm sure others would have rated it higher.
