in 1936, the Nazi government created a secret team of Jewish typesetters and graphic designers in a German concentration camp. Their mission- to create fake British pounds and U.S. dollars. It’s a true story told in the new film “The Counterfeiters”– this year’s Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Film. Kojo meets the filmmaker, and explores the film’s complex themes of complicity, privilege and principle.
