Kategorie C

In the environment of football, there is a subculture that frightens and fascinates at the same time due to its massive willingness to use violence: the world of football fans of 'Category C', whose interest is more in a trial of strength in fistfights from man to man than in the game. Do these fans know rules or morals? What concerns or ideals are the basis of this scene? What is the attraction of the physical confrontation? What are the consequences of the constant tightening of regulatory measures?

Director Franziska Tenner ('No Exit') seeks answers to these questions in her documentary. 'Category C' (2008) is a courageous and painful film that illuminates the people and the social phenomenon of this fan culture in an authentic, informative and enlightening way.
