Schwarzfahrer is a short film by the German director Pepe Danquart from 1992 .
action
It is a filmed urban legend that addresses the problem of everyday xenophobia and everyday racism . The film title is a play on the term dodger . In black and white pictures, he tells the story of a young black man who is insulted by an older woman in a Berlin tram for the color of his skin . She accuses him and all black people, among other things, of smelling bad, spreading AIDS and taking advantage of the social system. The other passengers are largely silent and do not interfere.
When a ticket inspector gets on to check the tickets and the older woman pulls out her card, the young man takes the ticket from her and eats it. During the check, the woman defends herself at the conductor with the words “The negro here just ate him!”, While the black man looks at her ironically and is able to show a ticket. The conductor thinks this is an implausible excuse and asks the woman to get out. The other passengers make no effort to support the woman. At the same time there is an actual fare dodger on the train , a young white man who remains undisturbed by the distraction.
