Hitler: A Career
A career unparalleled in history
Directed by Joachim Fest, Christian Herrendoerfer
Produced by Interart, Werner Rieb Produktion
A rigorous historical documentary that traces Hitler's rise through archive footage and analysis, examining mass psychology and propaganda as instruments of totalitarian control.
A keen chronicle of the unlikely rise to power of Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and a dissection of the Third Reich (1933-1945), but also an analysis of mass psychology and how the desperate crowd can be deceived and shepherded to the slaughterhouse.
