Honeckers letzte Reise(2019)

Honeckers letzte Reise is a documentary that reopens the extraordinary final chapter of East Germany's former leader Erich Honecker. Twenty-five years after his death, his personal secretary in Chile grants exclusive access to the family's private archive, revealing unseen documents and photographs that illuminate Honecker's dramatic escape from the collapsing GDR, his exile in South America, and the bitter family conflict over his remains. The film pieces together a compelling portrait of a man stripped of power, hunted across continents, and caught between nations even in death. Through archival material and firsthand testimony, it traces how one of the Cold War's most prominent figures spent his final years in obscurity, far from the regime he once controlled with an iron fist.
