In February 1990 writer Jürgen Fuchs was giving a reading of the diaries he wrote about his detention in a Stasi jail. During the reading, a man stood up and said: I’m one of those people you’re describing, but nobody talks to us. A month later, the film directors Tamara Trampe and Johann Feindt started their on-camera interviews with this man, Dr. Jochen Girke, a psychologist born in 1949, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the Stasi. During his time in the Secret Service, he trained would-be interrogators, jail psychologists and informers’ supervisory officers in operative psychology. The application of his scientific knowledge had devastating effects. (DOK.fest München)
