Directors' statement
"Children represent our future. They bear our hope for a better world, they give us energy and joy of living. They reflect our wish for security, family and happiness. At the same time, a child is the weakest link of our society and therefore it needs a special protection. Unfortunately, our society is still marked by misfortunes, which prevent many children from a happy and carefree life: news about the abuse, negligence and oppression of children fill the headlines of daily newspapers. Often, only a sensation of rage and lack of power remains, combined with the urgent question, if all that misery can’t be prevented somehow.
With LITTLE GERMANS, we point at an outstanding and extreme situation, at a form of violence, which is nearly impalpable and by some people it’s not even considered as violence at all. But even if the indoctrination of children, who are raised by neo nazis may be considered a side issue, it still hints at a bigger problem: the global radicalization of our modern society. Because it doesn’t matter if a child grows up with a skinhead mother, has to go to war with a shotgun in his hand in Uganda or is prepared for the Djihad in a Pakistani Quran school – the result is always the same: intolerance and hatred. Working against this is a goal we all have to achieve if we want to live in a peaceful and free society. With LITTLE GERMANS, we want to move a little bit closer to this goal".
