Their approach is the same: they themselves become visible in the films as questioners, telling their own stories from their own point of view.

Whoever plans a right-wing extremist demo in the middle of Kreuzberg expects headwind. Pegida Munich did it perhaps for this very reason: on Friday at 1 p.m., the group held a rally in Gorlitzer Park.

For Bettina Matthaei, the chicken egg is "an all-round talent." "It holds cakes together, it makes desserts taste airier, and as a fried egg, it’s the fastest fast food in the world," Matthaei says.
