What You have thought and done, then, at the beginning of September 2015, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to open the German borders for thousands, hundreds of thousands, more than a Million mostly Syrian refugees? What images are still there, the memory of the facts or has sampled the setting to the theme, in the meantime, an own individual movie?

Such questions, including all possible feel amplitudes whizzing by the head, and not just for the Moment, but about five times 50 minutes. So long peoples, will take a "hike", the documentary series in five Parts, the have compiled the best Team of Stefan Aust and Helmar Büchel for the mirror story.
