DER ANSCHLAG

Reconstructing the unthinkable.

Across five chapters, DER ANSCHLAG reconstructs the 2016 terrorist attack on Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz Christmas market—from the path to the crime and the attack itself to institutional failures, the trauma carried by survivors and families, and the questions of prevention and political accountability. The documentary series centers the voices of victims, relatives and first responders while placing their experiences within the wider security and institutional context.
