- Because he helped refugees in need, the Kassel government president Walter Lübcke was shot at close range by a right-wing extremist. A political murder that hit society at heart. But this brutal act of violence is only one in a chain of many in the recent past in Europe. Words become actions. In the background, a network of right-wing terrorist organizations is pulling the strings. This documentation follows the traces of radical right-wing attacks in the heart of Europe and tries to work out connections.
- On June 1, 2019 at around 11:30 p.m. the shot was fired, which marked a turning point in the Federal Republic. In the small Hessian town of Wolfhagen-Istha, the Kassel District President Walter Lubcke is murdered that night, while the annual wheat fair just a few meters away puts the residents in a party mood. There is a DNA trace on Walter Lubcke's clothing, which on June 15, 2019 leads the investigators to his alleged murderer: Stephan Ernst. Right-wing extremist Ernst, with a criminal record, is arrested by a SEK unit in Kassel. A first background check reveals: Stephan Ernst is known to the security authorities, but they haven't had him on their radar for six years. Now he's back. And a person is dead. The docudrama "Shot in the Night" tells emotionally and at the same time rich in facts how the fatal attack on the Kassel district president came about. It tells of the first right-wing extremist murder of a politician since the time of National Socialism. The film is based on intensive research and discussions with those involved on site. Above all, the script is based on the minutes of Stephan Ernst's first confession, which he later revoked and replaced with two new confessions. These minutes make it oppressively clear how Ernst became increasingly radicalized and how Walter Lubcke, as a representative of a caring attitude towards refugees, became a figure of hatred for right-wing extremists. The 90-minute film combines scenic elements with documentary material and also reconstructs the citizens' meeting in Lohfelden, Hesse, at which Walter Lubcke clearly and uncompromisingly advocated the values of democracy. That same evening he became - initially on the Internet - the enemy of the right-wing scene. The hateful words turned into deeds in the end and the silence of the audience in Lohfelden grew into a feeling of shame for many today, as they report in front of the camera.
- 202144m5.3 (20)TV MovieThe night of July 15, 2016 changed the history of Turkey. On that day there were coordinated attacks by parts of the Turkish army, among others in Istanbul. The aim of the military: a coup against the government. The decisive confrontation occurred on the Bosphorus Bridge. While President Erdogan was still on vacation, live at TV he called on the people who were devoted to him to stand against the military. As an enemy for the masses, he presented his adversary Fethullah Gülen, whom he branded as the coup leader. He also urged the imams of the country's mosques to condition the population to resist. And so it happens that at night thousands of agitated people take to the streets to oppose the armed insurgents. The death toll was high. 352 people died across Turkey during the attempted coup. The consequences are even more serious: Erdogan used this gift, as he called it himself, to undermine democracy, to arrange mass arrests of dissidents and to transform Turkey into a dictatorship.
- The shot from a gun came up close. The Kassel government president Walter Lübcke is killed on the terrace of his home on the night of June 2, 2019. The crime will soon be heard in court, but there is more to it. Research into this film shows that the main suspect Stephan E. and his alleged accomplice Markus H. were firmly connected to the far-right scene. This documentary illuminates the prehistory of the crime and the reactions to it.
- September 2015 - Germany is considered the "Promised Land" for many who seek refuge. The influx of refugees is hard to stop. There was a loss of control, the culture of welcome experienced setbacks, the backing for Angela Merkel as chancellor and party leader also disappeared in the middle of society. Her slogan "We can do it!" now seemed to turn against her. So there are reasons enough to look at those hours of the decision on September 4, 2015.
