Mitten in Deutschland: NSU

Part 1 'The perpetrators - Today is not every day': The focus is on the development and radicalisation of the right-wing scene since the early 90s, the increasing willingness to use violence in the right-wing milieu and the emergence of the terrorist cell. How could three young people from middle-class backgrounds, who in 1989 lived in a world in which everything and nothing seemed possible for their generation at the same time, decide to join the right-wing terrorist underground? (105 min.)

Part 2 'The Victims - Don't Forget Me': Based on motifs from 'Painful Homeland', the memories of Semiya Simsek, the second film is dedicated to the story of the first victim, Enver Simsek. The father of the family was murdered on September 9, 2000. The police assume a crime with a mafia-like background and stick to their theory even after the murders of six men of Turkish origin and one Greek in the following six years. The Simsek family is treated like suspects for years. (95 min.)

Part 3 'The Investigators - Only for Official Use': The final third part of the series shows police officers between the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, informants and the interests of the state. The focus is on an investigator from the Thuringia State Criminal Police Office, who has been looking for the NSU trio for years, but was massively hindered in his investigations. After the 'NSU' was exposed, he sees the chance to shed light on the matter. (92 min.)
