Friday Film Fest: Winnetou: Eine neue Welt (2016)

This movie is based on Karl May’s 1893 novel “Winnetou 1” and was made in 2016 by director Phillip Stölzl for television. It is the first part of the new Winnetou-Trilogy (Part2: Das Geheimnis vom Silbersee. Part 3: Der letzte Kampf). The movie tells the story of the expansion of the railroad by Central Pacific Railroad in the American West through Indian Territory. Winnetou and Old Shatterhand meet here for the first time and start a great friendship. Together they defend the “Land der Apachen” against the ever expanding and invading railroad and white settlers. The film will be shown in German with German subtitles.
