Description was written before the event

An open, chilling, and almost terrifying documentary about one of the 20th century's most controversial figures — German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, who became famous for the Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will. The entire film is based on documents from her estate, including private films, photographs, letters, and recordings that have never been publicly released before. The film uncovers fragments of her biography and places them in a broader historical context. How could Riefenstahl become a leading filmmaker of the Third Reich while persistently denying any close ties to Hitler and Goebbels?

About: Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 – April 30, 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party. He was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and served as head of state as Führer und Reichskanzler from 1934 to 1945. Hitler is most remembered for his central leadership role in the rise of fascism in Europe, World War II and the Holocaust. A decorated veteran of World War I, Hitler joined the precursor of the Nazi Party (DAP) in 1919, and became leader of NSDAP in 1921. He attempted a coup d'état known as the Beer Hall Putsch, which occurred at the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall in Munich on 8–9 November 1923. Hitler was imprisoned for one year due to the failed coup, and wrote his memoir, Mein Kampf (in English "My Struggle"), while imprisoned.
