Frauen in Landschaften
Their names are René, Sabine and Daniel – three people among thousands of others who go on to the streets of Dresden every Monday as “Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West”. They shout “We are the people!” They claim “Merkel must go!” The director Sabine Michel accompanied them for one year – on their demonstrations and in their daily lives. Merkel Must Go is not a film about PEGIDA, it asks for the personal reasons for this patriotic protest, a film about realistic and absurd fears of the present.
