hey dudes, ive got an assesment on leni riefenstahl asking us to consider if she was creating propaganda or not with her party rally films...
i said she wasnt, she was merely documenting the event ... does this seem implausable to u?

Of course she made propaganda films . That's what she's so famous for.

The way she filmed promoted the ideals of Nazism, as well as assisting Hitler as he rose to the god-like figure he would become.

Wikipedia will probably help you. Or the odd history textbook. Along with Goebbels, she was an incredibly influential person in the Nazi movement when it comes to propaganda.

I think it is a plausible argument to say she was simply making documentaries... you just probably need to find some stuff to back it up. That stuff would come in the form of Leni's denials of her involvement in Nazism.

Check out the doco The wonderful horrible life of Leni Riefenstahl etc.
