This is actually quite interesting, and tells a plausible story about the connection between his work of a philosophical nature and his Nazism. This isn't, to be sure, the Americanized Heidegger of Hubert Dreyfus (who defends a cogent, if not correct, anti-skeptical position about the relationship between theory and practice), but arguably closer to the spirit of the entirety of Being and Time. But it also confirms, in an odd way, Walter Kaufmann's old (and largely neglected) hypothesis that Heidegger, at bottom, never got beyond his conservative Catholic upbringing, carrying forward, in non-sectarian terms, its anti-cosmopolitan, anti-modern and anti-semitic aspects. It is unfortunate, though, that the documentary gives the impression that everyone agrees Heidegger was a "great" philosopher, and that the only doubts about him pertain to his disgusting political and personal behavior. In fact, there are extensive doubts among philosophers, both European and Anglophone, about Heidegger's originality and philosophical depth.
The story of Heidegger's post-war revival, thanks to Arendt and Sarte, was also quite interesting, I thought.
