Interview Changing Sides

The film follows Thomas “Eichi” Eichstätt, a football coach in Torgelow, Northern Germany, and his team of young refugees. Between teamwork on the field, integration struggles, and shadows of past and present, unfolds a story of belonging, resilience, and change.

Mrs. President: A Portrait of Power and Intimacy

We were honored to show Mrs. President at this year’s Doxumentale — a portrait of Zuzana Čaputová’s presidency told with rare emotional depth. Ahead of the screening, we spoke to filmmakers Barbara Janišová Feglová and Marek Šulík about political intimacy, trust, and the complexities of documenting leadership from within.

Interview

'There’s always a bigger story.'

Paul Radu has spent his life uncovering the hidden networks of power and profit. We sat down with the OCCRP co-founder to talk about transnational corruption—and where journalism ends and activism begins.

At this year’s Doxumentale, we had the pleasure of speaking with Friedrich Moser, director of 'How to Build a Truth Engine', about why facts alone can’t fight disinformation, how our brains are wired for shortcuts — and why media literacy, not just technology, is key to defending democracy.

Interview

'You need public anger. That’s the most powerful thing.'

At this year’s Doxumentale, we sat down with the Global Witness co-founder Patrick Alley to talk about how power protects itself, why truth alone isn’t enough — and what it takes to expose the machinery behind global corruption.
