Angela Merkel ‧ The Fateful Years of a Chancellor

Angela Merkel, Germany’s first female chancellor, closed the 16-year 'Merkel era' in 2021, marking a remarkable rise from 'Kohl’s girl' to the most powerful woman in the world. Her legacy is now refracted through the climate crisis, Russia, and the refugee question. More than two years after her departure, this documentary series revisits the defining years of her career and tenure, with perspectives from Samira El Ouassil, LeFloid, Marina Weisband, and Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. Centering on the view of the 'Merkel Generation,' it examines the chancellorship of Germany’s first woman at the helm.
