Friday Film Fest: Tausend Zeilen (2022)
Fri. Sep. 20, 2024 - 6:30pm - 9:30pm
This movie is based on the real life events of Claas-Hendrik Relotius, a German former journalist who resigned from Der Spiegel in 2018 after admitting to fabrication of numerous stories.
The fictional character Lars Bogenius, played by Jonas Nay, closely resembles Claas Relotius, and Elyas M’Barek portrays Juan Moreno, who uncovered and documented Relotius’ fraudulent activities. Der Spiegel is turned into the news magazine Die Chronik. The movie is not just a docudrama, but a clever and entertaining combination of drama, satire, and commentary.
