The documentary follows the story of a woman, a former member of the French resistance, who returns to Germany after 74 years. Within the short film, the woman will reach the concentration camp where her brother was killed. This short is part of one of the live action created for Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, edited by Respawn herself.

This recognition is a symptom that the videogame world is creating a space for itself in which to demonstrate their narrative power to the whole world. Respawn, through this Oscar, will be able to lead the way for all the other game developers intent on affirming that the video game deserves to be part of the Art with a capital A. To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to watch the documentary.
