In the organizer's words:
Film screening followed by a discussion with:

Birgit Schulz, producer
"Petra Kelly - Act Now!" is a documentary that inspires, motivates and empowers! More than 30,000 viewers have seen the film in theaters so far. It has also been nominated for the German Film Award 2025 and the prestigious Roman Brodmann Award.
In the Spot on series, which was initiated by the Film- und Medienstiftung, the documentary will be presented together with the production company Bildersturm, Realfiction Filmverleih and director Doris Metz and invite prominent politicians and activists to talk about the film and the current challenges in our society.
In recent weeks and months, topics such as the climate catastrophe, social impoverishment and a functioning civil society have been completely banished from the public debate at a breathtaking speed, both nationally and internationally, in favor of populist issues such as migration and armament.
Petra Kelly's far-sighted transnational thinking and action, her commitment to ecology, peace and human rights beyond any bloc thinking makes her a political icon of the 20th century and, especially now, a role model for young activists and politicians with socio-political visions.
Carola Rackete, who became known as an activist and captain in sea rescue and now fights for climate policy and human rights in the European Parliament in Brussels, has been invited for May 19.
