GER/FR 2005, R: Johann Feindt & Tamara Trampe, Doc, 92′, OV with German voice-over, Digi Beta

How do soldiers come back from war? This is the one question that accompanies the documentary WHITE RAVENS, made in the early 2000s. We get to know young men, whom Tamara Trampe and Johann Feindt show as perpetrators as well as victims of the war in Chechnya: broken returnees, but also concerned parents looking for their missing sons and overworked employees in the Moscow office of the Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers of Russia. In WHITE RAVENS, the directors’ ability to approach the victims and encounter their silence becomes evident.
