I Want to Run - The Case of Dieter Baumann

Director Diethard Klante

Gunda Borgeest conducted the research for the TV movie which premiered August 4th, 2004 in ARD, Germany.

These are the questions followed by the film, showing Baumann's desperate fight for right and rehabilitation, without, however, being able to conclusively solve the case .
