Leni Riefenstahl

Leni Riefenstahl was Nazi Germany's premier filmmaker, but claimed ignorance of the Holocaust. New revelations from her estate challenge this claim.

Narrated by Udo Kier, Rüdiger Suchsland's film suggests that the Third Reich was an immersive movie starring the German nation created by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. "Hitler’s Hollywood" collages films from the more than 1000 features the Nazis produced from 1933-1945: musicals, melodramas, romances, war films – and when the real war got insanely lavish, over-the-top fantasies.
