The documentary "Schwarze Adler" (Black Eagles) by Torsten Körner lets black players of the German national soccer team tell their personal stories. As part of the International Weeks against Racism, we are showing this exciting film in the Salmen.
When the German national soccer team kicks off, the national anthem plays and the cameras study the faces before kick-off, the players we cheer on in front of our screens at home naturally have a wide variety of biographies. They are united by their pride in playing for Germany and competing against the best in the world. Their heraldic animal is the black eagle that they wear on their jerseys.
However, the eagle, which today suggests unity, also had an exclusionary message for a long time, because the German soccer hero was thought, dreamed and worshipped as white.
The documentary "Black Eagles" lets black players of the German national soccer team tell their personal stories. What path did they take before they got to where we cheer for them? What hurdles did they have to overcome? What prejudices and hostilities were they exposed to - and what was it like in the past and what is it like today?
The event takes place in cooperation with the DJK Sportgemeinschaft Offenburg e.V.
On March 27, 8 p.m.
