Triumph of the Will - dvd

Leni Riefenstahl's TRIUMPH OF THE WILL remains the single most controversial film of its time. Regarded as one of the best documentaries ever made, TRIUMPH OF THE WILL is also considered as a propaganda masterpiece for its relentless glorification of Adolf Hitler and the emerging Nazi Movement prior to WWII. Featuring powerful cinematography and editing, the film builds an image of a charismatic leader contradictory to his later actions. We see his adoration by his public, the respect by his subordinates, and the strength with which he would lead Germany into their future. Unforgettable, shocking and, ultimately, powerful, TRIUMPH OF THE WILL serves as a chilling reminder of how the media can be used to manipulate public opinion, and as an example of the true power that words and images can have on a collective consciousness.
