GOTTESZELL –EIN FRAUENGEFÄNGNIS (Gotteszell - A Women's Jail, Helga Reidemeister, G 2001) "Nobody is safe when struck by an idea. Nobody can say, I would never do that." It is with this quote by Marguerite Duras that Helga Reidemeister's documentary about the women's prison of Gotteszell begins. The director gives a voice to addicts in jail for short periods of time because of drug-related crimes, as well as to women who have received life sentences for murder or manslaughter. An unheard and moving voice about violence, guilt and atonement. GOTTESZELL is one of the four films on on absolut medien's newly released double DVD "Helga Reidemeister. Filme 1979–2011" (ah) (25.4., special guests: Helga Reidemeister, Marion Jaszwiez)
