The documentary «Solidarity» by David Bernet will celebrate its world premiere at the DOK.fest in Munich. The film will be shown in the «Crossing Boundaries» section and is nominated for the VIKTORIA Main Competition DOK.international.

Solidarity is an irresistible feeling we celebrate, but in fact, it is mostly contradictory. This documentary delves into the phenomenon itself and uncovers the universal power of human rights. Five protagonists and the three crises in Belarus, Ukraine, and Gaza/Israel reveal to us both the bright and dark sides of solidarity.
