Gibsy - Rukeli Trollmanns Kampf ums Leben

N/A2014

Documentary

Storyline

Film tells the story of the boxer who sensationally won the German light heavyweight championship in 1933 and was stripped of the championship because he is a "gypsy". In protest, he went into the next fight as a caricature of an Aryan with white powdered skin and light hair - a dramatic decision.
