For decades Nathan Hilu has been unable to stop drawing: his years during and after World War II, his Syrian-Jewish family, his Yiddish New York. His quirky drawings—part underground comix, part Jean-Michel Basquiat, all Nathan—have the attention of archivists, galleries, and historians. Tablet Magazine described him as the “most significant Jewish Outsider artist you’ve never heard of.” But doubts arise: was Nathan really a guard at the Nuremberg Trials? What is memory and what is invention? A compelling documentary with twists and turns of the creative spirit. Do not miss the spectacular visual kaleidoscope of urgency as Nathan races against the clock to document history.
