𝙳𝙰𝚂 𝙳𝙴𝚄𝚃𝚂𝙲𝙷𝙴 𝚅𝙾𝙻𝙺 (The German People) has been described as one of the most significant films about modern Germany. Director Marcin Wierzchowski spent four years making the documentary, building close relationships with families affected by the Hanau massacre. The film traces their fight for accountability and their rejected call to memorialise their loved ones. With restrained, empathetic cinematography, it captures both private horror and a broader struggle against a bureaucracy that, beneath its liberal façade, reveals deeper structural racism.
