The rethinking of colonial history, including the long-suppressed German one, is increasingly present in documentaries and their critique. This is reflected in the latest edition of DOK Leipzig.

How do we find a sensitive way of dealing with the legacies of colonialism without resorting to racist stereotypes?

The DOK Talk “Sensitivity Screening – Unlearning the Past” took please on 11 October 2023 at DOK Leipzig.
