This sixteen-page undergraduate paper discusses Leni Riefenstahl and the politics of propaganda. Using her two most widely known Nazi-era films, "Triumph of the Will", and "Olympia", the author evaluates her position within the Nazi propaganda machine, and concludes the paper with a personal response to whether these films should be discounted as simply sad reflections of a terroristic regime or as secular landmarks of film art. 16 pgs.
