A Perfect Crime (2020)
Mindblowing, and a history lesson
For what it's worth this is a bit of an unsatisfying true crime story but actually it's so much more than that!
If you are actually German, you absolutely have to watch this (my opinion), it's a jewel! I'm afraid for almost everyone else it might be interesting but of little relevance ...
When these events took place, I was barely a teenager and very much busy with myself. I had noticed how my parents were struggling to find their way after everything had turned upside down but they did a good job in keeping it away from us (children). I simply wasn't aware just how traumatic the experience must have been for at least half of the East-German population. I was aware that the western politicians arrogantly dismissed everything that was done or made in the GDR and they surely have not foreseen the damage they would inflict. Until this day (30 years later) the results of it can be seen heard and felt. Several generations of East- Germans were traumatized and have passed this feeling along to their children. There is still a rift going through this country which now manifests itself in the success of the AfD (right wing populist party) after the leftists (Ex-"Communists") have failed to deliver any kind of consolation over the past three decades.
