‘Soldaten des Lichts’ Exposes Reichsbürger Influencer Network in Theaters

Released in cinemas this week, the documentary corroborates the filmmakers’ portrait of David Ekwe-Ebobisse’s commercial pseudoscience, documents a follower’s fatal decline, situates the network under the existing federal ban on Königreich Deutschland.

Overview

  • ‘Soldaten des Lichts’ transitions to a nationwide theatrical release on August 14 following its May premiere at the Munich International Documentary Film Festival.
  • Directors Julian Vogel and Johannes Büttner employ direct-cinema observation to chronicle David ‘Mister Raw’ Ekwe-Ebobisse’s blend of Reichsbürger beliefs, conspiracy myths and influencer marketing.
  • Ekwe-Ebobisse operates an online shop offering supplements, coaching and bioresonance services while advocating unproven treatments such as herbal infusions and infrared therapy.
  • The film reveals the exploitation of followers through unpaid labor, extreme fasting regimens and spiritual coercion, culminating in the reported death of a central subject, Timo.
  • The federal interior ministry’s ban on Königreich Deutschland remains in effect, accompanied by social-media suspensions and legal challenges against key figures in the network.
