Die NSU-Trilogie – Mitten in Deutschland

Contextualising the screening of Fatih Akin’s In the Fade at the East End Film Festival, the Goethe-Institut London will be screening In the Middle of Germany – a three-part fictitious exploration of the murders carried out by the neo-Nazis group NSU across Germany between 2000 and 2007.

The victims were mostly small business owners of Kurdish, Turkish and Greek origin, and a policewomen. The failure of the police to find the perpetrators, the unjust suspicions against the victims and their families, as well as the revelations about connections between the German domestic intelligence service and the neo-Nazi scene stirred up major debates in Germany and form the background Akin’s angry drama.
