Civil Courage (2010)
Directed by Dror Zahavi
Overview
For almost 30 years, bookseller Jordan has lived and worked in a neighborhood in Berlin that has become a social hotbed. As Jordan witnesses a teenager brutally beating up an older man, he intervenes and files a complaint - with unimaginable consequences ...
Director Dror Zahavi (“Everything for my father”, “My life - Marcel Reich-Ranicki”) succeeded after a screenplay by Jürgen Werner (“Tatort - With a steady hand”, “Schimanski - layer in the pit”, also with Götz George) an atmospherically tightly staged and outstandingly played portrait of a so-called problem district. Here nothing is glossed over, but instead the reality shown and the powerlessness of our judicial system mercilessly layed bare. A highlight of 2010!
