"No Asylum" is a solid documentary. The filmmakers use a surprising amount of archival film, including Nazi, concentration camp, and Anne Frank footage. They manage to avoid using numerous photographs in slow zoom, a technique popularized by Ken Burns and annoyingly prevalent in documentaries today.
Beyond the Frank family's request for asylum abroad, this film puts the story into an historical context that is relevant today. It also has some valuable backstory about World War II, laid out nicely whether you previously knew much about it or not. Access to surviving Frank family members and friends adds credibility and warmth.
The vastness and harshness of the holocaust really comes through, so it is definitely for a mature audience, although I would watch it with my mature 11-year-old son. The story ends with a pretty good historical wrap-up. The running time of just over 70 minutes is just fine as this film deals with some weighty material.
This is a skillfully told story and put together film.
