The Picture of the Day
Directed by Jo-Anne Velin1h 31m[Documentary](/on-demand/category/documentary)
On Easter 2015, the year a million refugees arrived in Germany, arsonists attacked a refugee block in a quiet village in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. Overnight, Tröglitz's burnt-out roof became the international icon of a new wave of xenophobic violence in the country. For 17 months, up to the state election in March 2016 and its aftermath, the Canadian director discovered the "silent majority" of the people who live there, and their own century-old migrant culture. Poetic, moving, humorous, and critical.
