Executive produced by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me), and directed by Matt Ogens, Meet the Hitlers is a documentary that examines the relationship between names and identity, by exploring the lives of people linked by the name “Hitler”, a name that still has power and influence over people’s lives, 70 years after the Nazi leader’s death.

This is seven stories in one: a socially awkward man in Germany who is determined that he is the only living relative of Adolf Hitler; an utterly normal teen-aged girl with a variant spelling of the name (Hittler), who is proud of her name and not at all defensive about it; an immigrant carpenter from Ecuador whose father gave him the first name of “Hitler” because he wanted his son to be unique; an older man who seems to carry the name lightly, but whose daughters had to endure taunting and bullying because of it; a neo-Nazi in New Jersey whose naming of his son “Adolf Hitler” led to a child welfare investigation and ultimately the seizure of all his children, all of whom had names honoring Nazi leaders; a photographer who has decided to devote the remainder of his life to mocking Adolf Hitler through his photographs; and finally, three brothers in New York State who are nephews of the Nazi leader through their father, Adolf’s half-brother William Patrick Hitler, and who are bound together by a heartbreaking pact.
