Is the German Public Aware of This?

IS THE GERMAN PUBLIC AWARE OF THIS? sets out to find the causes of this political turning point and embarks on a stirring journey. Beginning at Europe's external borders, the documentary follows rescue operations in the Mediterranean – where an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe meets state ignorance, but also civil engagement. Survivors recount how they reached Europe despite violence and deadly risks. While Germany contributes to building a European fortress, its political landscape is faltering. From emotionalized media coverage to politicians helplessly veering to the right, a social narrative emerges that increasingly targets those seeking protection.
