She was first and foremost a visual artist. What comes across here is her being duped, along with so many Germans, by the aim of the Nazi party.
Her two most famous documentaries were made under the delusion that the prevailing party had a worth mission. This documentary helps to explain this perspective from Riefenstahl's eyes.
Her true awakening came toward the end of the war, when she saw Hitler not visiting bombed out cities to witness the devastation. The final blow was her visiting the concentration camps and seeing the horror there.
This documentary shows many shots of Leni sharing things from her perspective, and denouncing the Nazi regime.
It goes on to show her film work during the war, followed first by her African trip to Nubian tribes, then to her fascinating under water film work. In all cases, her interest comes across as artistic and apolitical.
This is a most informative documentary on one of cinema's most controversial figures.
