Fascism & Anti-Fascism in the 1930s.
Es spricht der Fuehrer: We watched the final eleven minutes of Triumph of the Will and then a clip from The Great Dictator with Charlie Chaplin imitating Hitler.
Then we watched thirteen minutes of The Battle over Citizen Kane covering Orson Welles's early theatrical triumphs in NYC, esp. the WPA voodoo MacBeth and the antifascist Julius Caesar.
