Inspired by the Hollywood epic The Brutalist and its stunning 70mm cinematography by Laurie Crowley—utilizing the Vista method discovered by Paramount in 1954 and the 1.85:1 format—the radio documentary series Unguarded Passage brings to the airwaves of Voice of Greece a documentary that delves into the real heroes behind the cinematic protagonist.
A poignant story of post-war immigration to the United States, with the open wound of the Holocaust ever-present, and above all, an unstoppable drive for creation through architectural forms and the core principles of Brutalism, serve as the foundation and canvas for a cinematic narrative.
But what truly lies behind the myth? And, most importantly, who are the real people behind the cinematic hero László Tóth? This radio documentary explores the post-war world, the trauma of the Holocaust, and humanity’s inexhaustible creative ability to rebuild the world from its ruins.
