PLAYING GOD deals with Ken Feinberg, the most famous compensation lawyer in the US. Feinberg reveals to the camera his thoughts about his work. Victims of natural or man-made disasters who once were “represented” by Feinberg give their own version of his role in the compensation process. At the end it is not about Feinberg, who has made a name for himself as a system’s loyal servant with sometimes controversial means and questionable motives. It’s about the system itself. As director Karin Jurschick puts it, she’d like the audience to “question if they want to live in a society where money rules. I want them to think about Ken Feinberg’s role and the role – and value  – of the law, both its good and its problematic sides”.
