Triumph of the Will, (Triumph des Willens in the original German), 1935 is German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl's most famous work. Riefenstahl's pioneering cinematographic techniques (tracking, use of multiple cameras, aerial photography) brought her instant recognition, while the film's subject matter brought her lasting infamy. The film was a Nazi propaganda vehicle commissioned by Hitler. It documents the 1934 Nureumberg Rally.

Like Olympia and The Birth of a Nation, Triumph of the Will presents a dilemma for modern audiences: how to reconcile their repugnant messages with their status as innovative films of lasting significance.
