BIERMANN

Germany‘s most (in)famous dissident Wolf Biermann, born under National Socialism to Communist parents, Jewish, and a child of war, will turn 90 next year and is still on tour; a rebel, renegade, political essayist, Holocaust survivor, and a unique German-German witness.

Although his political significance is often highlighted, Biermann is mainly a poet and songwriter, friend to colleagues such as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. His main weapons - also in the political debate – were and are his songs and poems.

This film will showcase both the historical figure and the man – rebellious, lovingly disrespectful, and always entertaining – made by an experienced filmmaking team for a broad cinema audience.
