Production

edit

Wichmann was previously the subject of Dresen's documentary Herr Wichmann von der CDU. After Wichmann was elected to the Landtag of Brandenburg in 2009, Dresen had the idea to direct a sequel. Dresen followed Wichmann for one parliamentary year and produced around 100 hours of uncut material, which he edited down to 1.5 hours of uncommented film.[4][5]

The film premiered on February 12, 2012, at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in the Panorama section.[6]
