Click here to read the first part of the memories about the documentaries of Mark Jonathan Harris. The second part features discusses three more unique documentaries.
Unlikely Heroes is an unusual look at the time of the Holocaust. This film is seven profiles in courage about seven remarkable individuals who fought back and tried to save Jews from annihilation or at least tried to provide solace to those in the camps. Each person has their own thematic music with its own individual style. As the film grew so did the score. Though a great deal of the score is original I did weave in a few appropriate folk melodies as part of the overall tapestry. I even opened the Vienna scene with a lift from the Brahms Piano Sonata in F Minor. I feel that these quotes give the score a sense of the times and a sense of place.
