Schweigemahl

Schweigemahl — Plot

In connection with Horst Wegener's new song "Werden", he and Arne Schramm made the short film "Schweigemahl" about experienced discrimination. Using expressive images of everyday racism, the film tells the story of a German family with a black mother and a white father who work as theatre actresses and directors - and their process of reflection on the fact that even in a family marked by diversity, subliminal and obvious racism is omnipresent. A call to acknowledge one's own racisms and to question the structural inequality that still persists.
