In the documentary “Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire,” the life of the Nobel laureate and outspoken Holocaust survivor is told in his own words and that of those who knew him best. The film’s director, Oren Rudavsky, and Wiesel’s son, Elisha Wiesel, join host Sarah McCammon to talk about the documentary and the man it is about.
