+++ ATTENTION: In this episode we talk about psychological violence, hate on the net and suicide. If you are not doing well right now, skip this episode or listen to it with someone. If you are in a crisis right now: Below you will find information on where to get help. Take care of yourself! +++

A man sends hate messages to the doctor Dr.in Lisa-Maria Kellermayr. A short time later she is dead. He is one of many, ends up in court and is - at the time of recording this special not legally binding - acquitted. At the trial, a picture of Lisa-Maria Kellermayr is drawn that does not do justice to the doctor and expert in the fight against the Covid19 pandemic and rampant misinformation. We go far beyond the courtroom, where it is about evidence and the legal situation, which we leave to the lawyers. We are concerned with more than just the verdict. In the special, we focus on which images are drawn here, why they are problematic, and what all this means for the situation of women.

Our interlocutor is Barbara Kaufmann. She is a filmmaker and author, writes essays for German public radio, had her first feature film in the cinema last year and is already working on the next one.
