They were highlighting the dubious practices of one of Germany’s flagship companies, but the authorities did not listen.

Be they a stranger, a friend, or a lover, these brave individuals have decided to speak out about their close encounter with evil. Primary source interviews, pertinent archive and atmospheric GVs bring their stories of near death, to life. We flip the traditional narrative of a crime documentary on its head – the focus is not on the perpetrator but instead on the people whose lives they so affected.
