As head of the Department of Film of the Dutch Nazi Party and SS, he became the most powerful man in the Dutch film industry during World War II. Teunissen, nicknamed the 'Film King' and the 'Dutch Leni Riefenstahl' was a well- known filmmaker before the war. What drove him to become part of the Nazi regime?

A documentary about boundless ambition and the manipulative power of film. See less
