From the TC 372 Workshop Compendium

Working from original sources

The Illegals is an exceptional piece of cinema in many respects. It can be loosely categorised as a docudrama, combining a fictional story with material obtained by what today might be referred to as embedded journalism.

The long and complex story of how the film was created has been described in a diary by one of the main actors, Tereska Torres.

The film has had an initial theatrical release in the U.S., and has since been re-published in several manifestations and variants, and re-used in other works. Here is a filmographic record prepared in the late 1990s for the Cinematography of the Holocaust[1], edited by Ronny Loewy.
