Film | Tue, 04/16, 6PM | Goethe-Institut, 3rd Floor RABIYE KURNAZ VS. GEORGE W. BUSH

Join us for a screening of this multi-award-winning legal drama based on the true story of Murat Kurnaz, a young Turkish-German man who was unlawfully detained in Guantanamo Bay.

Although his innocence is soon proven, he remains in custody because the Turkish government does not intervene and the German government rejects a corresponding offer from the US. Meanwhile, Kurnaz's mother Rabiye begins an uphill legal battle to secure her son's release. What follows is a grueling legal process that drags on for years, all the way to the US Supreme Court.

 Being Kafka

Why does Franz Kafka’s spell remain unbroken a hundred years after his death? Why do we still perceive Kafka as so modern and contemporary? Because Kafka wrote such beautiful letters? Because we love drama queens? Because we feel that the world has never been more Kafkaesque than it is today? Join us as we step into Kafka’s world! Be Kafka!
