A serious and touching topic: on the trail of a catfish. A person who blogged under the fake identity Jule Stinkesocke as a supposedly paraplegic young woman. Jule Stinkesocke was a role model for many disabled people online, especially young disabled women. But instead, there are many indications that Jule is an older, non-disabled man. What a disappointment and a disaster for those affected.
Producing a movie like this over four episodes in a way that is unassailable under press law without taking away its “punch” and poignancy is an art form. We are pleased for all those affected, the producers and ZDF that we succeeded in doing this despite considerable headwinds in the run-up to the broadcast. 💪😊
