The jury of the German Documentary Film Award met via video conference. Twelve productions were nominated for the main award from almost 90 entries. We are very glad to announce that THE NEW GOSPEL is among the great selection of documentaries.

Together with the Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg (MFG), SWR has been awarding the German Documentary Film Award (previously the Baden-Württemberg Documentary Film Award) since 2009, since 2017 as part of the annual SWR Doku Festival.

Traditionally, the German Documentary Film Award is presented during the SWR Doku Festival in Stuttgart. In view of the Corona pandemic, the festival will again not be able to take place in its usual form in June as an audience festival. Therefore, almost all nominated films will be shown during the festival period from June 16 to June 19, 2021 at SWR.de/dokufestival. THE NEW GOSPEL will be shown on the 18th of June.

The awarding of the German Documentary Film Award will also be presented online again on the evening of June 18, 2021.

Congratulation to the entire team!
