When Maria de Medeiros began shooting her documentary on actress Micheline Presle, she had no idea that a story that began in the late 1930s would reveal a conspiracy that still puts lives at risk. Snippets from a film that has been missing since the Second World War set the Pulp Fiction actress on the trail of a forbidden work that could have changed cinema history forever: Hitler in Hollywood.
