Help[Opinions] Re: Leni?
in reply to a message by Bronislava
Leni Riefenstahl, wasn't proud of the propaganda aspect of her life, but in the circumstances I don't think many people would have done much different, she was between a rock and hard place.
Post War however, she did a lot of magnificent photography work in Africa, and captured many tribal practices on film that have now been wiped out through warfare in Sudan. So although she did a bad thing making Hitler films etc, she did do a great service to those African peoples whose traditions she captured on film. Although it doesn't excuse or explain her war activites, I like to think it's something on her path to redemption.
I love the name Leni, I'd use it.
