This is, presumably, Channel 4's version of "Das Fernsehen unter dem Hakenkreuz," which had aired in Germany several years earlier.
Propaganda outlets in wartime are studied from generation to generation, but this documentary focuses as much on the innovative technology put together in desperate bids to help the medium survive as much as studying the more widely known historical elements. Much of this study is shown through the eyes of one of the reporters of the day.
If you followed the awards campaigns for The Zone of Interest, you have probably heard plenty about the power of the everyday moments amidst a holocaust. That is also true for this documentary, which doesn't try to shock or horrify you with what you already know. In spite of this restrained touch, the darkest moments, like an interview with a doctor performing race science or a feel-good feature on veterans who have taken up dancing due to losing their legs, sacrifice none of their power.
