Angela Merkel ‧ The Fateful Years of a Chancellor(2024)

Angela Merkel: The Fateful Years of a Chancellor is a documentary series examining Germany's first female chancellor and her unprecedented 16-year tenure that ended in 2021. The film traces Merkel's remarkable ascent from "Kohl's girl" to one of the world's most influential political figures, while exploring how her legacy has been shaped by contemporary crises—climate change, Russia's aggression, and the refugee crisis. Two and a half years after her departure, the series offers fresh perspective through interviews with prominent voices including Samira El Ouassil, LeFloid, Marina Weisband, and Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. Rather than a traditional biography, the documentary centers the "Merkel Generation's" interpretation of her chancellorship and its lasting impact on Germany and Europe.
