Biography

Samuel Meffire, protagonist of the documentary Black Deutschland, has been invited to the festival by FilmInitiativ and the association Öffentlichkeit gegen Gewalt e.V. He sent us the following details for his biography: “Ex-model policeman. Promo-star. Ex-robber. Ex-prisoner. Protagonist of a multi-award-winning documentary about his life, watched by millions of viewers.... has lived with anthroposophists and has temped in old people’s homes, in a rubbish sorting plant and as a social worker... survived the hell of the civil war in Congo and long years of solitary confinement... And after all that he finally found the courage to work with his gift for language. Today he writes extraordinary thrillers with XXL-tension and also unique hybrids of poetry, news flashes and pseudo-docs.”
