MEMORY WARS - München: Filmpremiere mit Gästen

In the organizer's words:

Premiere in the presence of Hendrik Löbbert (director), Elena Ebner (Berufsverband deutscher Psychologen e. V.) & Prof. Aileen Oeberst (Professor of Social Psychology, University of Potsdam)

Elizabeth Loftus has been researching the limits and pitfalls of human memory since the 1970s and is one of the most influential psychologists in the world. Her work has taken her into the most controversial court cases of our time, including the Michael Jackson case, Harvey Weinstein and many others involving murder, sexual abuse and systematic violence. In these media-staged trials, Elizabeth Loftus questions the veracity of witness testimonies and thus stimulates a fundamental debate about the probative value of memories. Based on her research and material from sensational cases, Memory Wars takes a penetrating look at the tension between truth and justice - and puts the power of memory at the center. A movie that asks the fundamental question: Can we trust our memory?
