As part of the German Week celebration at UNL, the film “Die Fremde” will be introduced by the German Consul Herbert Quelle from the Consulate General of Germany in Chicago. Following the film, Mr. Quelle will also lead a discussion and a Q&A session.

“Die Fremde” (“When We Leave” in English) is a film by Feo Aladag. It features Umay, a young woman of Turkish descent, fighting for an independent and self-determined life in Germany against the resistance of her family. Her struggle initiates a dynamic, which results in a life-threatening situation.

This event is part of the College of Education & Human Sciences (CEHS) Germany Week. An initiative of the Germany Embassy, this week-long celebration focuses on immigration and its surrounding benefits and issues in the U.S. and Germany.

All events are free and open to the public for the week.
