After a sold out premiere in Cologne, our documentary “STASI FC” starts nationwide in German cinemas today. The film by Dan Gordon, Arne Birkenstock and Zakaria Rahmani.

“Hilarious... Touching... Informative... STASI FC pieces together a dense mosaic that illustrates how the East German secret police tried to exploit even anarchic phenomena like football for ideological purposes.”, writes EPD-FILM about the film which was produced by Fruitmarket and Corso in ccoperation with Embankment and Phiphen Pictures. THE GUARDIAN (UK) praised STASI FC as “the astonishing tale of the secret police’s football team (and) an astute look at the wild story of a Stasi-run East German club”.
