Of the 1,200 feature films made in Germany under the Third Reich, approximately 100 were blatant examples of Nazi propaganda. More than 40 of these films remain under lock and key to this day. Director Felix Moeller interviews German film historians, archivists and filmgoers in an investigation of the power, and potential danger, of cinema when used for ideological purposes.
This film is part of “Remembrance: The Holocaust in a Global Context,” a special series of lectures, films, and gallery talks commemorating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
