Movie: Brother Jakob

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    "Jakob is my dear brother. He used to love to party, make music, and let himself drift through Berlin. Then six years ago, he suddenly became a Muslim. He broke off contact with his old friends and his old ways. Now as a Salafi, every question has an answer by the rules of fundamental Islam. By filming him, I go in search of our lost bond of brotherly love and suddenly find myself on a journey with him, that goes beyond a religious exploration." - Eli Roland Sachs
