In the organizer's words:
Diakonisches Werk Solingen shows in cooperation with Amnesty International Solingen:
On three days (07.04., 10.04., 14.04.2025), one episode each of the series "Uncivilized", which has been nominated for the Grimme Prize 2025, will be shown at COBRA Solingen.
In five fictional episodes, the German series "Uncivilized" sheds light on how global events such as 11 September, the attack in Hanau and the war in Ukraine affect the lives of post-migrant people in Germany. The series focuses on everyday racism and the effects of public discourse on the daily lives of those affected. Effects that often remain invisible.
Afterwards, the audience will be invited to discuss their thoughts and feelings.
07.04. "Hanau": When Can wants to go out partying with friends, the evening takes an unwanted turn. Because of the incidents in Hanau, they experience a journey through Cologne's nightlife full of rejection, discriminatory door policies and a police check that gets out of hand.
10.04.. "Ukraine": Karla wants to take in a refugee at home in the wake of the reporting on Ukraine. But instead, a young Syrian man is suddenly waiting for her at the refugee center.
14.04. "Nine Eleven": Shortly after September 11, 2001, Sahra begins her traineeship. The fact that high school graduate Ahmad does not take part in a minute's silence during her lesson has consequences for both of them.
For the episode "Hanau" on April 7, author Bilal Bahadir is expected at Cobra Kino for an audience discussion!
