The Door of Return

“Do I really have to travel to 2020? Or can I still switch to another year?” – Two black women in a holodeck simulation. The year 2440. Place of residence: Saturn. Racism, sexism and capitalism have been overcome. The destination: Earth. The history of our past echoes into our future. Afro-German history, that has been made invisible. The N-word that continues to be uttered in Germany, Germanness and Blackness as a contradiction, an error in the system. THE DOOR OF RETURN is an Afro-futuristic documentary. A thought experiment.
