The Man Behind Hitler

His name is synonymous with political propaganda. His legacy is one of maniacal cruelty and unwavering devotion to the Nazi cause. He has been called "the genius of spin" and "Reich Liar-General." The Man Behind Hitler, a portrait of Joseph Goebbels, delivered in words taken directly from the diaries he kept from 1924, when he joined the Nazi party, until his suicide in 1945, read by actor Kenneth Branagh. Featuring never-before-seen footage, this 90-minute documentary from filmmakers Lutz Hachmeister and Michael Kloft offers an insider's view of the rise of the Nazi party.
