Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx formed one of the most famous duos in world history. In contrast to Marx, however, Engels seems to have fallen into oblivion today. Unjustly so.  Moving archive images, documentary footage and graphic novels lead us back to the time of Friedrich Engels, who shaped the Communist movement like no other.

Friedrich Engels: Der Unterschätzte

Sommer '39

The tide for the German Army turned between November 1942 and March 1943. The American landing in North Africa and the German defeat at Stalingrad undermined the belief in the invincibility of the Nazis. The atmosphere of those days is sketched in interviews with eyewitnesses from eight European countries (e.g. a philosopher, journalist, author, psychologist), in excerpts from diaries (the 14 year old Shoah victim Ruth Laskier, the journalist Ursula von Kardorff from Berlin), letters (Resistance hero Sophie Scholl), notes (Swiss consul von Weiss) and archive materials, mostly from (uncensored) amateurs.
