⚠️ A Controversial Landmark in Film History – Restored and Preserved for Archival Purposes

Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens) is an infamously powerful work of propaganda created to document and glorify the 1934 Nazi Party Rally in Nuremberg. Directed by Leni Riefenstahl, under the direction of Joseph Goebbels, this film was conceived to promote Adolf Hitler’s regime and ideology to a national and international audience.

Technically groundbreaking in its time, the film's use of long tracking shots, innovative editing, and stylized staging has been studied extensively in film schools—but its historical context and moral implications continue to ignite intense debate. This fully restored 2K edition, digitally corrected under the supervision of historian Robert A. Harris, is intended for historical education and academic analysis only.
