Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit (1924/1925) - Filmanfang

The video shows the first five minutes of the film.

Film synopsis: The perfect body as an object of cult worship. Based on the mass sports and body worship movement of the 1920s, the film propagates physical training and shows in stylized documentary scenes aspects of physical hygiene, gymnastics, sports and dancing as well as scenes in which supposed sportsmen of antiquity pose naked. An early indication already of the racist views of the body by the Nazis.
