Year 12 Modern - Triumph of the Will

Triumph of the Will was the documentary/propaganda film made by Leni Riefenstahl, as a record and celebration of the Nazi Party Conference held in Nuremburg in September 1934.

As a record of a truly historical event, it is quite amazing. When you recall that the Nazis had only been in power for just over 18 months, the scale of the celebrations and the rallies are quite stupendous.

One viewing of this film will stand you in good stead when it comes to discussing how the Nazis used propaganda and symbolism, and how Hitler could manipulate the masses.
