About Olympia 1936. Der verratene Traum
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.
Directed by Christoph Weber, Olympia 1936. Der verratene Traum leans on a strong ensemble — Joseph Prammer, Antonia Moretti, Mercedes Echerer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2016.
