beginning clip audio
Schwartzfarher
Schwartzfahrer is set on a tram ride in late 1990s Berlin, bringing together a cross-section of Berliners – including the literal ‘black rider’ of the title.

NB, the film features an unpleasant racist monologue, even though the character does receive their comeuppance..
