Führer Ex
“Violence. Feeling. Being caught.”
Drama
Ingo Hasselbach, whose parents were Communist Party members in East Germany during his childhood, has lived at both ends of the political seesaw. The question of how people reach a change of heart is a profound one; Hasselbach describes the external forces that led to his founding Germany's first neo-Nazi political party and the internal ones that led him away from it five years later.
VIBE
A stark, unflinching look at the corrosive nature of extremism and the arduous path away from its grip. This film feels like a cold, hard dose of reality, exploring the psychological and societal forces that shape radical beliefs.
