Mint’s latest feature documentary has won an award in Cannes.
The Hunt for the Last Nazis won best documentary feature (May) at the Cannes World Film Festival 2026.
It had been selected as a semi-finalist and finalist before the judges voted it as the winner in the best feature documentary category.
With exclusive access to never-seen-before classified government files and explosive video and audio recordings, The Hunt For The Last Nazis uncovers the scandalous story of how thousands of alleged Nazi war criminals hid in Australia after WWII and managed to evade justice – despite a last-ditch bid by a government-sanctioned Special Investigations Unit desperate to prosecute hundreds of them.
It will now compete in the annual competition for a chance to be screened in Cannes during the award ceremony.
The is the second time a Mint film has won best documentary at this festival. The Jewish Nazi? won in 2023.
The Hunt For The Last Nazis, which premiered on SBS on May 31, was the highest-ranking of the Australia Uncovered series in 2026.
It was also selected as a finalist in the New York International Film Awards.
It was written and directed by Dan Goldberg, executive produced by Craig Graham, edited by Mark Middis, post-produced and co-written by David Roach. Director of Photography was Nathan Barlow with La Finka on motion graphics and Adam Gock from the DA’s Office composing. Jess Quilter was production manager, Sarah Charley line producer and Brooke Taylor head of production.
It was funded by SBS Australia, Screen Australia and Screen NSW, as well as philanthropy. Abacus-Sphere is the international distributor.
