Because we are different

The extreme life of a Wende child This is the story of Felix, who was born black in East Berlin in 1970. In the GDR, he is an exotic from the very beginning. The small, slender boy is often beaten up by other children. At the age of 13, he learns karate, which is forbidden in the GDR. He trains obsessively so as never to be defenseless again. After the fall of the Wall, Felix becomes German kickboxing champion. He earns his money as a bouncer, moves around with the hooligans from BFC Dynamo and fights in the "third half", at the same time he loves the music of Bach, wants to study psychology and meditates several hours a day. In November 1999 Felix is arrested. The first trial begins in Berlin against a group of hooligans, bouncers and martial artists who deal in anything that brings money. Felix is one of the defendants. The verdict will decide his life. "Thrilling to the last page" Frankfurter Rundschau.
