Die Wache

Directed by Eva Wolf

In her documentary, director Eva Wolf accompanies police officers at a Münster police station for many months at work. The filmmaker asked herself what the officers' day-to-day work is like away from scandals during operations or right-wing extremist group chats. She not only documents their work assignments, which can be exciting and dangerous as well as boring and quite funny at times. The officers themselves also take viewers to the places where the first cracks appear in society. Eva Wolf wants to find out what the challenging work does to the officers and why they chose to work for the police.
