The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl
Despite her fame as an actress and director in the '20s and '30s, German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl will best be remembered as the creator of the modern propaganda film with 'Triumph of the Will' and 'Olympiad'. In this acclaimed documentary, the 90-year-old Riefenstahl talks candidly about work under the Nazi regime, her alleged personal relationships with Hitler and Goebbels, and how her artistic drive blinded her to the realities of the Third Reich.
