GZUZ - Licht & Schatten
Watch TrailerGzuz stares into the camera while being prepped for a show: «They want me to be the bad guy, but I'm just showing what I see.» This documentary portrait of the Hamburg rapper strips away all layers—from controversial music videos to quiet conversations with his incarcerated father. The camera follows him on set, in the studio, during court hearings addressing assault allegations. The director neither justifies nor condemns, instead granting access to a world where fame, wealth, and prison sentences intertwine with lyrics about street life and betrayal. The film examines the phenomenon of German gangsta rap through its most polarizing figure.
