Zamperoni and Wellmer Explore Germany's Concerns Ahead of Bundestagswahl

The moderators' new documentary examines public views on migration, economic challenges, and security without focusing on party politics.

Ingo Zamperoni and Jessy Wellmer traveled across Germany to create the 60-minute ARD documentary 'Was bewegt Deutschland?'.
The film highlights key issues such as migration, economic uncertainty, and the impact of war, presenting perspectives from diverse individuals and communities.
The documentary avoids political interviews or party manifestos, aiming instead to capture a broad societal mood before the election.
Featured stories include a small village grappling with a proposed refugee center, a Syrian refugee set to co-own a business, and a reservist reconsidering military service.
The journalists observed widespread uncertainty but also glimpses of hope and resilience in the face of national challenges.
