Sabine Michel

Их имена - Рене, Сабина и Даниэль - трое среди тысяч остальных, выходящих каждый понедельник на улицы Дрездена как «Патриотические европейцы против исламизации Запада» (PEGIDA). Они кричат: «Мы люди!» Они требуют: «Меркель должна уйти!». Режиссер Сабина Михель сопровождает их в течение одного года - на их демонстрациях и в их повседневной жизни. «Меркель должна уйти» - это не фильм о PEGIDA, он ищет личные мотивы патриотического протеста, это фильм о реальных и абсурдных страхах настоящего.

It’s country versus city in this darkly comic showdown between the wily inhabitants of a farm and its arrogant new owner.
