| Triumph of the Will is Riefenstahl’s legendary propaganda documentary of the Third Reich's 1934 Nuremberg Rally. Hitler’s intention was to document the early days of his party to enable future generations to look back and see how the Third Reich began. In reality, Triumph of the Will shows historians how the Nazi state drew in the masses through propaganda and Hitler’s terrifying ability to hypnotise crowds. Triumph of the Will is considered to be one of the most powerful propaganda films ever. Riefenstahl used revolutionary techniques such as moving cameras, telephoto lenses and aerial photography. Despite its content, it continues to influence movies, documentaries and commercials to this day. The cast includes Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Hess, Goering and other top party officials. This film, more than any other, demonstrates the frightening reality that was the Nazi Party and the methods it used to bring a nation under its spell.
A bonus DVD is included in the pack. March to the Fuhrer documents the rise of the Hitler Youth Movement. The British Film Institute recently featured Triumph of the Will in its top 20 most important documentaries of all time.
