SOLDATEN DES LICHTS

In the organizer's words:

Germany 2024 - Director: Julian Vogel - Co-director: Johannes Büttner - Original language: German - Subtitles: English - Length: 108 min.

"Mister Raw" has found the "formula for world health." With "god's food," he can rejuvenate the body and lead to enlightenment. Through his mastery of social media, he has attracted a dedicated circle of followers who are hooked on his nutrition advice. A gripping Direct Cinema film about a scene that will make you shudder. Ina Borrmann

"Go out and collect wild herb juices every day!" "Mister Raw" paces back and forth in front of his distribution center, giving instructions to a woman diagnosed with cancer. "Relax a bit. Go on the vitori mat!" He turns to her son. "And don't let your mother forget: Cancer dies when the temperature is over 42 degrees... Good to see you, brother." SOLDIERS OF LIGHT has a lot more personnel to offer: You meet pandemic deniers, the "spiritual healer Sananda", "Peter I", the "Supreme Sovereign" of the "Kingdom of Germany" and Timo, who becomes increasingly dependent on the faith healers. The whole thing doesn't end well, that much can be revealed. Highly exciting and truly unbelievable! Ina Borrmann

A limited contingent of 300 individual tickets@home is available for this film.
