Watch Steve McQueen’s Occupied City Now

“Extraordinary… an epically scaled chronicle where history is very much alive.”
– The New York Times, Manohla DargisAcademy Award Winner Steve McQueen’s monumental portrait of Amsterdam and the ghosts of World War II, Occupied City, is now available to watch at home.

The past collides with our precarious present in Steve McQueen’s bravura documentary Occupied City. From the streets of Amsterdam, McQueen creates two interlocking portraits: a vivid journey through the last years of pandemic and protest, and a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts his adopted city. What emerges is both devastating and life-affirming, an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we’re headed.
