Asbest(2023)

Asbest is a German crime series that follows Momo Kaval, a 19-year-old arrested for a robbery committed with his criminal cousins. He's the only one charged and sentenced to nine years in prison, claiming innocence—but the truth proves far more complicated. Director Kida Khodr Ramadan explores a world of clan crime, territorial disputes, and systemic corruption through a strong ensemble cast. German rapper Xidir, in his acting debut, carries the five-part gangster drama as Momo navigates life behind bars. Created by Katja Eichinger, Asbest examines how quickly a young man can become entangled in cycles of crime and whether redemption is possible when the system itself is broken.
