Product Description:
An amazing documentary about an incredible woman, this film traces Leni Riefenstahl's life from her beginnings as a German action movie starlet through her career as film director on such Nazi epics as "Triumph of the Will" and "Olympia" and beyond. The 91-year-old subject, hailed as the greatest woman filmmaker ever, remains fiercely private about her controversial relationship with Hitler and the Nazis.
