Pastor Lothar Stops

The documentary presents Lothar König, a long-term youth pastor from Jena, who has navigated the complexities of life in the GDR under state surveillance. After reunification, he became a vocal opponent of right-wing radicalism, taking significant risks in his advocacy.

Directed by his son, Tilman, the film serves as a critical tribute rather than a straightforward homage, providing insights into König's transition into retirement and his ongoing activism against the extreme right. The film captures his determination and commitment to social justice, portraying the challenges he faces in a changing society.
