Die Unsichtbaren

This film chronicles the career of detective inspector Marianne Atzeroth-Freier, who became a trailblazer in the Hamburg police force. At the age of 30, she was a single parent and faced significant obstacles as one of the first women promoted to the homicide squad. The documentary highlights her determination to be taken seriously in a challenging environment, including her investigation into the notorious "acid barrel murderer."

With a runtime of 102 minutes, Die Unsichtbaren delves into the societal issues surrounding gender and authority in law enforcement during that era. The journey of Marianne Atzeroth-Freier serves as both an inspiring story and a critical examination of the systemic barriers women faced in the police force in Germany during the late 20th century.
