Mollath (2015)
It was and is one of the biggest scandals in recent judicial history - the Gustl Mollath case. Mollath was unlawfully detained in a closed psychiatric ward for seven and a half years. He was declared paranoid and a public danger, allegedly slashed car tires, attacked his wife and made confused accusations about illegal money transactions at Hypovereinsbank. Directors Annika Blendl and Leonie Stade followed Gustl Mollath through the years of his trial and created an intense and nuanced portrait of a man who is still fighting for justice and rehabilitation today. In the course of the film, not only Mollath's supporters and opponents have their say, but also his former defense attorney and lawyer Gerhard Strate, who was able to obtain an acquittal for his client through the retrial.
