Men who abuse their power, women in shock and families who stand by the perpetrators: Munich lawyer Antje Brandes worked as a consultant for the ARD six-part series “37 Seconds” and sees an alarming number of parallels between film and reality.
The series is really a pearl: outstanding, dense and grippingly told, even if the topic is a horrible one. The six-part “37 seconds”, which can currently be seen in the ARD media library and which was filmed in Munich, is about the rape of a young woman who has a crush on an older music star. After the TV broadcast and enthusiastic reviews, the phone of a woman from Munich never stopped ringing: Antje Brandes, a passionate victim advocate by profession, who worked as a consultant for the television shoot.
