Contergan: Die Eltern

Contergan: Die Eltern centers on a premise that unfolds like this: From 1959 to 1962, about 5000 disabled children were born in Germany, often with shortened and altered limbs, but also very often with damage to internal organs. About half of the children did not survive. In November 1961, it turned out that the sleeping pill and sedative Contergan was responsible for the disabilities. The active ingredient thalidomide had disrupted the growth process of the children in the womb in the early stages of pregnancy. In this documentary, parents of the so-called "Contergan children" tell how they experienced the tragedy.

The pacing rewards patient viewers, layering small details that pay off later. Themes of ambition, loyalty, and consequence run throughout. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.

Contergan: Die Eltern is anchored by Wolfgang Korruhn, Sigrid Baumann-Senn, Karin Berg-Kotterba, and Gisela Brückner, working under the direction of Andreas Fischer. Each performance brings a different texture to the film.
