"I don't care what JD Vance says... I will not give them empathy. No freedom for the enemies of freedom."
"People are always saying we should try to understand these people who are voting AfD... But why should we be understanding of people who don't want to understand us?"
At the Cannes film festival, director Fatih Akin presents his film "Amrum", depicting life on a northern German island during the Nazi rise. The movie follows a boy's struggle to connect with his Nazi-supporting mother amid Germany's impending defeat. Akin emphasizes the relevance of this narrative to current events, particularly regarding the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD). He critiques calls for empathy towards AfD supporters, positioning them as 'enemies of freedom' and urging a reflection on contemporary societal issues.
