The Dangerous Afterlife of Mein Kampf

This documentary traces the history of Mein Kampf, the book written by Adolf Hitler during his imprisonment in 1924, which theorized his racial doctrine and ambitions for conquest. Initially a commercial failure, the work became a massive bestseller and a central propaganda tool after the Nazis rose to power in 1933. Now in the public domain, the book continues to exert a global fascination, though it is now framed by critical editions designed to deconstruct its lies.
