Jamel - Lauter Widerstand

This documentary provides a deep look into the village of Jamel in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, known for its right-wing extremist presence. It follows Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer, who moved to the area seeking a peaceful life but instead encountered a hostile environment dominated by neo-Nazi ideologies. Rather than succumbing to threats and intimidation, the Lohmeyers organize the 'Jamel Rocks the Forester' music festival each year as a form of resistance.

The film features prominent figures from the German music scene, including Herbert Grönemeyer and Campino, who lend their support to the Lohmeyers' cause. Through their story, the documentary reveals that the issues faced in Jamel are not isolated, but part of a larger trend of right-wing extremism in rural areas. It showcases how music can serve as a powerful tool to promote democracy and challenge extremist narratives.
