Triumph of the Will

Alternative title: Triumph des Willens
Synopsis: The official record of the Nazi Party Congress held in Nuremberg in 1934. After World War 2 the film was banned because of general fears that it might inspire a new Nazi party.* The DVD also includes original Movietone reports of the subsequent Nuremberg rallies of 1935 to 1938 and a substantial booklet featuring a specially commissioned essay about the film and many photographs from the production and chapter notes.
