In the organizer's words:

Location: Cinema bar "Prager Frühling" in the House of Democracy, Bernhard-Göring-Str. 152, 04277 Leipzig

"Politics is far too serious a matter to be left to men alone." (Käte Strobel, Federal Minister 1966-1972)

The documentary hit created a cinematic monument to the female politicians of the Bonn Republic and their fight for political participation - almost 200,000 viewers flocked to the cinemas. When work on this film began in 2015, it was not yet foreseeable that the American presidential elections would bring an openly misogynistic president into the White House. The Weinstein scandal and the #MeToo debate about abuse of power and sexual violence, which continues to this day, as well as the rise of populists, autocrats and clown politicians were still ahead of us when Körner embarked on an extraordinary, unique cinematic journey through time.

The "fellow travelers" are numerous pioneers of the Bonn Republic, including Herta Däubler-Gmelin (SPD), Marie-Elisabeth Klee (CDU), Christa Nickels (The Greens), Ingrid Matthäus-Maier (FDP/SPD), Renate Schmidt (SPD) and Rita Süssmuth (CDU). Historical photographs also show political greats such as Hildegard Hamm-Brücher, Waltraud Schoppe and Petra Kelly. This multifaceted look back at West Germany's past provides an impressive and valuable insight into the present and future. Afterwards we invite you to a discussion.
