Synopsis
Fasia Jansen (*1929; † 1997) – a powerful blues singer; daughter of an African king and a German working-class mother – grows up among antifascist dockers in Hamburg. She barely survives the Nazi regime's medical experiments and forced labour in a concentration camp. Yet, after the war, she begins to sing for peace and women's rights. Together with her spouse, Ellen Diederich, she becomes a driving force in the European women's peace movement of the 1980s. Today, she is an identification figure for Black Germans. This documentary is a newly edited version of the film first released in 1987.
