Director Statement

Giving immigrants of earlier decades a voice in German public broadcasting is an obligation for a country that considers itself to be democratic and intercultural. This film proves that people like Mehrdad Zaeri do not only enrichen German arts but are important mediators for refugees coming into the country now.
