was another film maker who paid a heavy price for having a politically
incorrect opinion. His paradigm shifting film 'Birth of a Nation' (1915)
caused him no end of grief due to its favourable depiction of the Klu
Klux Klan. Nonetheless, in a subsequent interview he claimed that 'the
Klan was necessary at that time'. In spite of this he remains one of the
pioneers of the cinema as we know it, as does Riefenstahl.
To this day Agfa supply film known as 'R-stock' which was invented by
Riefenstahl for the purposes of 'day for night' photography.
