DramaHistoryWar

A structure-free, four-part examination of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Each part explores a different topic, from Hitler's cult of personality in propaganda to how said propaganda was associated with pre-Nazi German cultural, spiritual, and national heritage to the Holocaust and the ideology behind it, particularly from Himmler's point of view.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling, theatrical examination of history's darkest figure. This experimental epic uses symbolic staging and unconventional techniques to probe the nature of evil and its enduring legacy. It's a challenging, cerebral experience for the dedicated viewer.
