Dramatic turn in Cologne: police officer under suspicion after demo death!

Köln, Deutschland - Cologne (dpa) - A drama unfolds in the city of Cologne! In the gripping crime drama "alone between the fronts", a peaceful demonstration becomes a scene of chaos and violence. A demonstrator loses his life and the police are faced with internal investigations. Who is responsible for this tragic event? A young police officer, Jan (Justus Johannsen), is suspected of having thrown a paving stone. A stressful video could bring him to prison! The film will be broadcast on ZDF on November 18 at 8:15 p.m.

director Nicolai Rohde and screenwriter Jörg Tensing show the events from different perspectives. Henner's camera work gives the film a documentary character that catapults the audience in the middle of the action. Jan, the young policeman, becomes victims himself when he is injured. But the question remains: is he to blame for the death of the demonstrator? Main commissioner Charlotte Stauffer (Brigitte Hobmeier) leads the internal investigation and encounters a network of distrust and rejection. Who gave false instructions? Who overreacted?

a game of perpetrators and victims

The film represents the complex dynamics between the police and demonstrators. Who is perpetrator and who sacrifice? A young journalist who holds everything with her camera could provide decisive evidence. Jan goes in search of the truth and wants to save more than just his own skin. In the ZDF interview, actress Brigitte Hobmeier expresses her respect for police work and emphasizes that the officials are often forgotten as humans behind the uniform. Criminologist Thomas Feltes, who accompanied the filming, explains that police operations often take unpredictable turns that require lightning -fast action. A single error can trigger an explosive dynamic, as is impressively shown in the film.
