Apparently Triumph of the Will is being re-released very shortly. I have the 2001 release but happen to come across this blurb on a DVD review site...if anyone can find anything on this particular release I'll love to hear from you.

TRIUMPH OF THE WILL is, of course, Leni Reifenstahl’s influential and controversial masterpiece, one of the great accomplishments in the history of film propaganda as an art form. The film may have been used to monstrous ends, but without understanding how brilliant the technique in the film is, you can’t get an understanding of how the film inspired people to do and justify terrible things. I haven’t seen this new release, but I’m told it is not just a re-release of Synapse’s already-excellent special edition from 2001. I’m told Don May worked very hard to improve on what he’d already done and release something that’s well worth the double-dip.
