Overview
A keen chronicle of the unlikely rise to power of Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and a dissection of the Third Reich (1933-1945), but also an analysis of mass psychology and how the desperate crowd can be deceived and shepherded to the slaughterhouse.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulous, sobering examination of how Hitler's rise unfolded through political manipulation and propaganda, built largely from archival footage that documents the mechanisms of mass deception. It's a masterclass in how circumstances and psychology can enable totalitarianism, leaving you chilled by its cold analytical clarity.
