production

The production took place in cooperation with the relevant institutions of the European Union. The filmmakers were “the first film team in EU history to move freely through the room during council meetings” and “shoot backroom negotiations between the Council and the Commission”.

reception

The German Film and Media Assessment (FBW) awarded the rating "particularly valuable": the film is a "highly informative, exciting and instructive documentary on a hot topic that concerns us all" and "a documentary masterpiece". The film service ruled that the “gripping, formally ambitious documentary” reproduced the resolution for a draft data protection law with “admirable clarity and great inner tension”. In addition, he advocates "emphatically for European legislation as a regulator against national egoisms and the dominance of purely functional rationality".

The film was awarded the German Documentary Film Prize in 2017 .
