WDR
When Seyo takes up her new post as a prosecutor, she already knows that right-wing violence will be part of her daily work. But when she herself becomes the victim of an attack, she discovers that the independence of the judiciary can be very fragile when racism is deeply entrenched in the system. She digs deeper and deeper into the failings of her own department and fights for justice with every means at her disposal – both in and out of court.
