Intrada Announces
I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU
The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal
Composed and Conducted by LEE HOLDRIDGE
INTRADA Signature Edition ISE 1023
Simon Wiesenthal was a childhood hero of director Richard Trank: Wiesenthal fought valiantly for justice on behalf of Tranks' relatives during the Holocaust. He never imagined eventually making a movie about him, but I Have Never Forgotten You is a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of Simon Wiesenthal, the famed Nazi hunter and humanitarian. Narrated by Academy Award winning actress Nicole Kidman, it features interviews with longtime Wiesenthal associates, government leaders from around the world, friends and family members—many of whom have never discussed the legendary Nazi hunter and humanitarian on camera. Previously unseen archival film and photos also highlight the film.
The director states "Our goal with I Have Never Forgotten You - The Life And Legacy Of Simon Wiesenthal was to create a documentary that would do justice to his memory and his work. We wanted to be able to help future generations not only appreciate his contributions to the cause of justice for all people who have been victims of genocide but inspire others to follow in his example."
As composer Lee Holdridge reflects, "I got chills the first time director Richard Trank told me our next project would be a film about Simon Wiesenthal. To me Wiesenthal was one of the great iconic figures of the 20th century. I immediately sat down with the director to discuss our musical approach. We decided on a purely orchestral score." Holdridge fashioned a serious, emotional score, weaving in a traditional Jewish-Polish melody and quoting a traditional Sabbath melody into the score's tapestry. Trank also recommended Holdridge create a separate theme for Wiesenthal and his wife, which echoes their Eastern European roots and enduring love. All told, Holdridge provides a true, real world hero with a stirring tribute to his life and legacy.
This release is limited to 1000 copies in the Intrada Signature Series.
