Channel Four's feature length drama THE RELIEF OF BELSEN, uses eye witness accounts to piece together the unfolding events following the liberation of the concentration camp by British troops in April 1945. The extraordinary story is told through dramatisation, testimony and news footage; forming a very human account of such an inhuman horror.
When an ambulance crew are sent to what they believe is a prisoner of war camp to assist with a medical emergency, the group are completely unprepared for the devastation they find. As a outbreak of Typhus spreads through Belsen, Lt Col James Johnston (Iain Glen) and his men struggle to cope with the immense task before them.
