In an interview with Sandra Maischberger, Paul Ronzheimer talks about Leni Riefenstahl, her role as Hitler’s most important propagandist, and how her depiction of the masses and power shapes our perceptions to this day. Maischberger explains how his access to Riefenstahl’s archives led him to the conclusion that Riefenstahl was a convinced National Socialist from the start. It’s also about propaganda in the age of social media, the responsibilities of talk shows in the face of populists, and the growing crisis of trust in the media and public broadcasting.
