Andres Veiel's documentary "Riefenstahl" challenges Leni Riefenstahl's long-held narrative of ignorance regarding the Nazi atrocities she witnessed and may have influenced.
In a revealing letter, a Nazi officer suggested Riefenstahl urged the removal of Jews for filming, claiming her actions could have indirectly contributed to their deaths.
The film posits that despite her claims of detachment from Nazi ideology, Riefenstahl remained an admirer of the party until her death at 101.
This documentary is groundbreaking as it provides unprecedented access to Riefenstahl's estate, portraying her as a direct eyewitness to war crimes.
