Jascha Hannover is a director and creative producer for documentary films based in Cologne and Berlin.

In the 1970s, an enthusiastic solidarity movement for Black civil rights activist Angela Davis emerges in communist East Germany. She attracts hundreds of thousands of people during her visits to the country. But all this enthusiasm is deceptive... Co-director Katharina Warda tells this often-overlooked piece of Black East German history from her personal perspective.
