In the organizer's words:

Indians in the GDR?

The state initially had a hard time with the Wild West, before there was even a new exhibition in the Karl May Museum in Radebeul near Dresden from 1985. Solidarity with the Native Americans was easier, as the Native American films often produced by the GDR with the actor Gojko Mitic showed. They were also the inspiration for Wolfgang Kring to put on his own "Apache Live Stunt Show" and still thrill his audiences in Mecklenburg today with self-made accessories and lots of action. The focus of the evening is the documentary "Dreamcatcher" by Andreas Höntsch about the life story of Wolfgang Kring. It shows that great freedom could be lived on a small scale in the Tippi.
