How it feels

This documentary uses six segments to examine the wave of right-wing violence, racism, and hate crimes in Eastern Germany after reunification in the early 1990s. Through interviews with people who lived through it, the film shows how neo-Nazi groups terrorized foreigners and leftists while many local residents looked away or approved.
