The UK screening tour of the acclaimed new German documentary film, Das deutsche Volk [The German People] (dir. Marcin Wierzchowski, 2025) will be taking place next week. All screenings will be fully subtitled in English and followed by a Q&A with the director.
The film is a prize-winning documentary about the aftermath of the terror attack carried out by a right-wing extremist in Hanau in 2020 and marks an important intervention in contemporary public memory debates. The film will be of particular interest to anyone working on or interested in questions of cultural memory, debates about immigration, post migration and structural racism.
