Her ex-boyfriend Peter Sammauer mobilizes friends and neighborhood against Rapp, who cannot be prosecuted legally.

criticism
The star called Be Free Again a dark, depressing crime scene that was one of the best in a long time.
The critic Rainer Tittelbach wrote: “A rapist and murderer is on trial. He is acquitted - and now everything is possible: the victim is still in danger, vigilante justice is conceivable, but the defender is also at risk in the emotionally heated climate. The course of action is full of turns, the protagonists are highly emotional, the (often undignified) behavior of the people is recorded incorruptibly by the camera. Gripping, tragic, lasting. "
The jury's reasoning for the awarding of the Hamburg crime prize 2011 to Christian Zübert states: "Narrative intelligent, emotionally profound, complex in terms of content and staging: [...] The excellent book by Dinah Marte Golch overthrows the investigating commissioners - and with them the viewer - into a startling roller coaster of emotions. Vigilante justice is becoming a possible alternative for an enlightened society based on the rule of law - a shocking prospect. Precise in the creation of images and with a nuanced ensemble in which Lisa Wagner shines as a public defender, the film confronts the viewer with moral abysses and at the same time sensitively traces the distress of the victims of violent crimes. The film explores the field of tension between the rule of law and moral feeling to the limit of what is bearable. A masterful thriller with emotional impact. "
