Wundkanal

An old man is kidnapped. His interrogation uncovers the biography of a mass murderer: the 80 year old man was, afterall a SS leader and the responsible for the killing of thousands of people in Russia. The ex-agent was also responsable for creating a technique of eliminating political prisoners: manipulated suicide. 

In Wundkanal, Thomas Harlan reconstructs the history of a bureaucratic murderer, while also developing a direct connection between the national-socialism and the treatment of prisioners of the RAF terrorists in the Stuttgart isolation prison.

The screening of this film is followed by Robert Kramer's Our Nazi, a documentary about the shooting of Wundkanal. Double session dedicated to "German guilt": the first one is born from the search for redemption from the feeling of guilt of having been born the son of Veit Harlan, director of the well-known Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda film Jud Süss; and the second about the alleged impossibility of Harlan in admitting guilt – in addition to his announced inability to admit that impossibility.
