KULTURMOSAIK - Filmvorführung "Das Deutsche Volk" mit Paneltalk + Programm

In the organizer's words:

THE GERMAN PEOPLE

On the night of February 19, 2020, a racist shoots nine young people in Hanau. What remains are grieving families and survivors who fight not only for those murdered, but also for truth and justice. For four years, director Marcin Wierzchowski follows their tireless resistance against forgetting - and poses the currently pressing question: Who belongs to Germany and who does not?

#SAYTHEIRNAMES
Ferhat Unvar, Hamza Kurtović, Said Nesar Hashemi, Vili Viorel Păun, Mercedes Kierpacz, Kaloyan Velkov, Fatih Saraçoğlu, Sedat Gürbüz and Gökhan Gültekin

"The German People" screened in the Berlinale Special out of competition section. Marcin Wierzchowski was already awarded a Grimme Prize in 2022 for his documentary "Hanau - One Night and its Consequences".

PRESS RATINGS

"Deeply humanistic, radically subjective and yet universal (...) With his sensitive, closely observing long-term documentary, Marcin Wierzchowski gives a voice above all to the relatives of the victims."
critic.de

"Wierzchowski's two-hour documentary in black and white impressively tells of the consequences of the attack from the perspective of the bereaved and survivors, who feel abandoned by politics and bureaucracy."
