The documentary Schwarze Adler (Black Eagles) lets black players of the German national football team tell their personal stories for the first time. What road did they take before they got to where we cheer for them? What hurdles did they have to overcome? What prejudices and racist hostility were they exposed to – and what was it like in the past, what is it like today?

Black people in Germany still have to struggle with racism and prejudice. In "Black and German," women and men from four generations tell their moving, stirring and proud stories.
