In Their Name

About This Movie

In Their Name is a deep dive into a haunting chapter of history, blending documentary with immersive storytelling. Hegedüs takes us to the shores of Latvia in December 1941, capturing the stark reality faced by Jewish women and children. What’s striking is how the film combines poignant interviews with historical context, giving a voice to the victims through Sorella’s Story. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing the weight of the subject matter to settle with each frame. The 360° format adds a layer of immersion that’s rare in documentaries, making you feel complicit in that space and time. The collaboration with a Jewish-Australian filmmaker adds a unique angle, bridging generations and experiences in a way that personalizes the history without losing its gravity.
