Soldiers of light
The documentary SOLDIERS OF LIGHT sheds light on a growing scene of influencers, life coaches and self-proclaimed healers who spread conspiracy narratives and are closely linked to so-called Reichsbürgerinnen and other anti-democratic forces. These actors rely on apocalyptic scenarios, constant threats and promises of salvation to encourage their followers to buy courses and products. Their clientele ranges from so-called sovereignists, self-administrators and Reich citizens who seek to break with the Federal Republic and legitimize themselves through their own identity documents and bureaucratic structures, to people who are seriously physically or mentally ill. One of them is Timo, who has become increasingly radicalized since the protests against protective measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. His role model, the raw vegan David aka "Mister Raw", claims that his psychotic delusions are possessions of dark forces that he can cure with food supplements, faith in God and fasting.
SOLDIERS OF LIGHT delves into a complex world between conspiracy ideologies and self-optimization and portrays people who want to establish a kingdom in Germany.
