Audre Lorde - the Berlin Years, 1984 to 1992 ((Dagmar Schultz, Germany, 2012, 79 mins.) documents influence of the American writer on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change, a decade that brought about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the re-unification of East and West Germany. This chronicles an untold chapter of Lorde’s life: her empowerment of Afro-German women, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways.
