Additional InformationAn amazing documentary about an incredible woman, this film traces the controversial life of Leni Riefenstahl, from her beginnings as beloved starlet of German mountain movies through her career as director of some of the most infamous films of the 20th century. Though her diverse filmography includes narrative works like THE BLUE LIGHT and the stunningly beautiful documentary OLYMPIA (a celebration of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin), Riefenstahl will forever be associated with her Nazi epic TRIUMPH OF THE WILL. While she herself never actually joined the Nazi Party, the creation of this single most effective propaganda film ever made cemented her controversial status and forced her to spend the rest of her life trying to live down her association with the Third Reich. To this day the 91-year-old subject, largely regarded as the greatest woman filmmaker of all time, remains fiercely private about her controversial relationship with Hitler and the Nazis. Ray Muller's riveting documentary captures Riefenstahl in all her disturbingly unapologetic charisma as she addresses her turbulent past for the first time on camera.
