action
Lannert, Bootz and their colleagues find 23 dead refugees during a truck check at a motorway parking lot as part of a drug search. They had observed the truck for several hours in order to convict the alleged murderer Milan Kostic along with the drugs. If they had been accessed earlier, they could have saved the people. Lannert takes up the pursuit of Kostic because he is convinced of his guilt for the death of the refugees.
The African Lela Obasi, who is supposed to testify against Kostic, is initially wounded and kidnapped by him to a refugee home, where Lannert tracks them down, which turns out to be a trap. Lannert is also injured, but is able to keep Kostic and his sister Mitra in check. Both sides point guns at each other in a nerve-wracking manner. Mitra tells Lannert that there is just another truck with forty hidden refugees on the way, all of whom will also suffocate if no one reaches the truck in time. With this statement she tries to persuade Lannert to help them escape. Lannert only agrees after they have been sent a photo of the evidence. In the meantime, however, the SEK has already surrounded the house. Bootz searches for his colleague room by room with the SEK, but Mitra has an informant and they manage to deceive the police at first. When the SEK is about to be withdrawn, Bootz exposes the informant. On the way to Lannert there is a hostage situation. Everyone arrives in the courtyard to the escape vehicle and a contract killer sent by the people behind them shoots Mitra. The hit man is then shot by Bootz. Together with the dying Mitra, Lannert and Kostic drive to the parking lot, where the truck with the 40 refugees is to be received. They can all be released unharmed. Kostic hands Lannert papers with information about the people behind them and then disappears.
background
The film was shot from September 22, 2015 to October 22, 2015 in Baden-Baden, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. For the refugee home, in which most of the action takes place, the SWR rented an empty high-rise building in Baden-Baden that was intended to be converted.
The idea came up over a year before the European refugee crisis 2015/16 with the refugee tragedy near Parndorf , in which 71 people suffocated in a truck.
reception
Reviews
“The ambitious confrontation scenario in the 'Promised Land' does not work out, however. The facts are correct, but there are too many inconsistencies and exaggerations in the plot. […] There are simply too many dramaturgical supports in this 'crime scene' to bring thriller and thesis together. Then better a documentary on the topic. "
“The episode by Züli Aladag (book by Christian Jeltsch) takes up the most burning topic one can imagine, refugees in need. But too many strands are spun in the effort to condense the social issue into a thriller. "
