“We are colourful. We are diverse and committed – but all you ever read in the headlines is: the Nazi village.” This film does things differently. It takes us through the everyday occurrences in an existential struggle for power, freedom and open reporting. A film about neo-Nazi strategies and East German counter movements that show us how you can oppose the threat of right-wing extremism. Morgane Remter
