This Friday the movie DAS KANNINCHEN BIN ICH (THE RABBIT IS ME) is showing. The movie was made in 1965 to encourage discussion of democratization of East German society. It was quickly banned by officials as an attack on the state. In it, a young student has an affair with a hypocritical judge who had once sentenced her brother for his political activities; she eventually confronts him with his opportunism and contribution to injustice. Entrance is free of charge.
