Netflix Sets ‘Babo – Die Haftbefehl Story’ for Oct. 28 Streaming Debut

Netflix bills a rare, trauma-focused portrait shaped by more than two years of access.

Overview

  • Directors Juan Moreno and Sinan Sevinç followed Aykut Anhan, known as Haftbefehl, with cameras for over two years.
  • Actor Elyas M'Barek serves as producer and acted as a close creative patron during the film’s development.
  • Guest commentary features prominent German rap figures including Soufian, Xatar, Moses Pelham, Marteria, Jan Delay, Niko Backspin, Kool Savas, Peter Fox and Bausa.
  • The film is positioned as an unvarnished portrait that moves beyond street-rap clichés to examine the impact of childhood trauma.
  • Coverage situates Haftbefehl’s arc from his 2010 breakthrough, through 2014’s ‘Russisch Roulette’ and the 2022 milestone ‘Das Schwarze Album,’ to a lower public profile since 2023.
