Aelrun Goette, the German director of "In einem Land, das es nicht mehr gibt" (2022), is drawing attention after details of her life circulated online. Barred from taking her school-leaving exams in the GDR, she was made to work in a prison and a psychiatric institution. After reunification she worked as a model before becoming a filmmaker, a path many are calling remarkable.
