Andres Veiel
Leni Riefenstahl is one of the most controversial personalities in history. She was an innovative and creative aesthete of the 20th century as well as a Nazi propagandist who claimed to not know about the Holocaust. Riefenstahl directed Triumph of the Will and Olympia, two of the most effective pieces of propaganda to be created under Hitler's regime. Veiel's documentary uncovers fragments of her biography, using documents from her estate, including private films, photos, recordings and letters. How could Riefenstahl become the Reich's preeminent filmmaker and keep denying any closer ties to Hitler and Goebbels?
