VATER, SOHN UND DER PREIS DES WIDERSTANDS
Deutschland 2026 – Director: Götz Schauder – Original language: German – Subtitles: English – Length: 93 min.
The father fought against the dictatorship in East Germany using his typewriter. His son took active measures. Two forms of resistance and an abyss of silence. Götz Schauder uses video messages to build a bridge between the two men. A painful struggle for the truth begins. This film powerfully illustrates how deeply dictatorship digs into people's souls. I.B.
