Sommer 1968. Während für viele in Deutschland eine neue Ära der Freiheit anbricht, wird der 14-jährige Wolfgang von seinem Stiefvater in die kirchliche Fürsorgeanstalt "Freistatt" abgeschoben. Dort ist es wie im Knast: Die Türen sind verschlossen, die Fenster vergittert, Briefe werden abgefangen. Die Jungen werden mit militärischem Drill zum Torfstechen ins Moor geschickt und als billige Arbeitskräfte ausgenutzt. Von ihren Familien vergessen, verrohen sie als Opfer eines körperlichen und psychischen Gewaltsystems, von dem man draußen nichts mitbekommen darf. Wolfgang widersetzt sich und plant seine Flucht: Ihr kriegt mich nicht – niemals! Seine Sehnsucht nach Freiheit will er nicht so schnell im Moor begraben. (Salzgeber & Co. Medien)

Englisch The Germans are attacking us again with that aggressive precision and with difficult-to-define emotions. The story is fairly austere and systematic; however, it evokes the effect of disgust and contempt, thus fulfilling its purpose.Sanctuary is an absolutely unprecedented drama that tries to document someof the disgusting things that took place in West Germany.It could almost be said that the boys in that camp were probably the only West Germans who would rather live in East Germany at that moment; that’s how cruel this movie was.

Englisch I picked up this not rather unknown but highly praised film from Germany set in a religious facility! It is reminiscent in its concept to Nordic films like The Day Will Come, and its qualities are certainly not far from them. A young 14 year old who has problems at school and rebels against his stepfather is sent to a religious institution for hard to handle juveniles to "reform", but he is in for a very difficult time. Bullying by inmates and guards is rampant. Freistatt is a horrible place in the middle of nowhere, with bogs all around, and the wardens are, as is their wont, petty bitches with no compassion. Suspenseful, authentically unpleasant and decently gritty. Quite shocking at the end. Yeah, if, like me you haven’t heard of it, you should give it a go! 80% ()
