feature documentary | 90 minutes | 2026 | Germany | in production
Directed by Indira Geisel and produced by Sommer Slatter Film
in co-production with ZDF das Kleine Fernsehspiel and the University of Television and Film Munich

Winner DOK.talent Award 2024 (DOK.forum Munich)

"(...) the jury decided for a project in which the filmmaker portrays three generations of her own family – in which, as she says, “campaigning is a family affair“. Let it be known: POLITIK IST PERSÖNLICH, a film that engages with ambivalence, allows for critical distance and, on a personal level, seeks its own fresh perspective, is the well deserved winner."
