Documentary film about the tree house occupation in Hambacher Forst in the fall of 2018, shortly before their eviction by the police.

For Blinker, Ronni and Green MP Kathrin Henneberger, the 1.5 degree limit runs through Lützerath. They are fighting in different ways to preserve the village in the Rhenish lignite mining region. While Blinker focuses on barricades and Ronni concentrates on the media strategy of the occupation, Kathrin Henneberger tries to influence her party leadership. But they consider Lützerath to be the “wrong symbol”. After the eviction, what remains are images of destruction, memories and wounds that are only slowly healing.

A cinematic inversion of global power relations, 'Black Savior' parodies the idiosyncrasies of the white savior syndrome, through the story of the Agyeman family from Akanman, who travel to the heart of the cold continent with a goat to save the Swabian tribe.
