Documentary by Christoph Rüter about Thomas Brasch
DEU 2011 | 92 min
Using self-shot DV footage, the film creates a portrait of the poet Thomas Brasch (born 1945 in Westow, England, died 2001 in Berlin). As the son of Jewish remigrants, Brasch grew up in East Berlin. In 1976, after the petition against the expatriation of Wolf Biermann, he left the GDR. It was only in the West that Brasch's artistic career began, and he defended himself against appropriation and the image of the GDR dissident.
