The Nazi propaganda film about Hitler reaching 700,000 of his followers in Nuremberg a couple of September days in 1934. With little dialogue, Hitler's Nazi Germany appeals to Germans through a picture of strength and unity. In the midst of a disenfranchised Germany, Hitler and Riefenstahl knew an image of a strong mass movement was what was necessary to pursuade audiences of the German, and therefore Nazi, cause. Together they could be great again, he promised.

Its a powerful film, and thats whats so scary.
