Synopsis:

Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany's most notorious filmmakers. His most perfidious film was the treacherous anti-Semitic propaganda film Suss l'ebreo (1940) - required viewing for all SS members. An unrepentant and blindly obsessive craftsman, no figure - save for Leni Riefenstahl - is as closely associated with the cinema of the Holocaust years. (Harlan's epic La cittadella degli eroi (1945) was the basis for Inglourious Basterds (2009)'s pivotal film-within-a-film Stolz Der Nation.) This documentary is an eye-opening examination of World War II film history as well as the story of a German family from the Third Reich to the present; one that is marked by reckoning, denial and liberation.

Nazi Veit Harlan is widely regarded as one of Germany's most controversial filmmakers, and in this documentary director Felix Moeller profiles this master of propaganda, chronicling his life and film career, particularly the works he made during the Holocaust. Additionally, Moeller uses candid interviews with Harlan's descendants, examining the impact of the Third Reich and World War II, and the undeniable effect Harlan's life and work had on future generations.
