How did one of the worst dictatorship of all time use film production as a tool of propaganda? In Hitler’s Hollywood director Rüdiger Suchsland examines some of the nearly 1000 films that were produced during 1933 – 1945. We learn how they presented characters and events in order to influence the viewer and shape their views, and how direct lies were mixed with hidden truths. Suchsland has previously made the internationally acclaimed documentary From Caligari to Hitler, and this time he digs even deeper into the same theme.
