The Moelln Letters

Winner of the Amnesty Film Prize & Panorama Audience Award at the Berlinale 2025. In November 1992, racist arson attacks in Mölln destroyed the lives of İbrahim Arslan and his family. The 7-year-old boy survived the fire, but tragically lost his sister, his cousin and his grandmother. The city subsequently received hundreds of letters of solidarity. It was not until 2020 that these letters were discovered in the Mölln town archives. They were never forwarded to the families. The film follows İbrahim and shows the trauma that still shapes their lives today. Through his fight against racism, İbrahim has found a way to channel his pain. His brother Namık, on the other hand, is still struggling with the past.

+ Talk with director Martina Priessner after the film. 

Screening organised in partnership with Amnesty International Aachen.
