Sandra Kaudelka

Left-wing politician Sahra Wagenknecht’s working day is marked by applause and admiration but also doubts and intrigues. This film follows her and her team: from the 2017 election campaign to her withdrawal from political leadership in 2019.

In the film, the director examines the understanding of sport and the performance requirements in the German Democratic Republic. Among others, she interviewed four important athletes who took part in various world championships and Olympic Games for the GDR. Director Kaudelka sheds light on the glorious and at times arduous path of the protagonists in the GDR and how their lives changed after the fall of the Wall.
