Olympia 1936. Der verratene Traum

Directed by Christoph Weber

With Joseph Prammer, Antonia Moretti, Mercedes Echerer, Helen Barke and Sebastian Pass

The film chronicles the story of how the Nazis and the IOC turned, to their mutual benefit, a small sports event into the modern Olympics. The grand themes and controversial issues from the 1936 Games have continued to this day: Monumentality, budget overruns, collusion with authoritarian regimes, corruption and sometimes even bribery.
