Russlanddeutsche, die AfD und ich

Russlanddeutsche, die AfD und ich follows a journalist as she steps into the lives of Russian German families to unpack a reputation built on prejudice rather than personal truth. The film moves from living rooms to church pews, letting people tell their own stories about origin, belonging, religion, and daily life. It maps contrasts across generations and faiths, showing how family history, language, and memory shape choices and how politics sometimes intersect with faith and identity. The aim is to reveal voices rarely heard in public debates and challenge sweeping stereotypes. Interviews cover a range of viewpoints, from skeptical to supportive, without presenting a single verdict. The camera captures intimate silences as well as dialogue, with sensitivity to cultural nuance.
