About

A film followed by a panel discussion at Urania Berlin about East German competitive swimmer Axel Mitbauer, who swam about 25 kilometres through the Baltic Sea in August 1969 after being banned from sport for life. The film (AT 2025, 78 minutes, FSK 12) tells a human drama about freedom, courage and self-determination.

On the panel are Axel Mitbauer, his former swimming colleague Matthias Pechmann and director Antonio La Regina. Film critic Knut Elstermann moderates.

Admission is free.
