In five episodes, #UnterAlmans tells German immigration history, listening for the first time only to those who have immigrated. Because it is first and foremost their story.
Salwa Houmsi takes you to people who came to Germany in the last 70 years and who talk about their hopes and disappointments in this series. About anger, home and the question of what being German means to them. What immigrant country really means, where racism was and is acceptable and whether they feel at home differently than their grandparents, the first immigrants. Salwa Houmsi is the narrator of the series and explores on-camera and in her off-camera comments the question of what we can take away from the stages of the past and whether and under what conditions we can proudly say in the future: We are a country of immigration and that's a good thing!
Beyond a history lesson feel, the series delivers a colorful, intergenerational, emotional journey through the decades.
