Logline

A world premiere: A virtuoso hybrid film that exposes the mechanisms of demagoguery.

Art as propaganda and propaganda as art: Joseph Goebbels understood early on that film is an important weapon of ideological warfare. The images that resulted continue to shape our perception of the Nazi era today. FÜHRER UND VERFÜHRER pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of power and alternates between dramatized scenes, archival footage, and eyewitness accounts.
