In April, a documentary about Hans Söllner will be released in selected cinemas. There will also be a DVD and a video available for purchase. On the official website for the film, the following text can be found:
"The Bavarian singer-songwriter Hans Söllner from the Alps speaks his mind, is the most successful of his kind in Germany, and yet you never hear him on the radio and have never seen him on German television. He and his fans have a seemingly entirely different understanding of freedom, tolerance, and respect than the state in which they live.
The documentary observes the singer-songwriter at work, attempting to connect life experiences, wisdom, everyday life, and the artistic expression of the rebel: Why does he fight so restlessly and energetically against this state, why is he both hated and loved, why do the lines between "state-friendly" and "thoughtful" seem so hardened, especially in the seemingly exemplary free Germany.
Above all, his sympathy for hemp and his bold statements against authority make him the most persecuted artist in Germany, but also a spokesperson for countless like-minded individuals; sold-out concerts, trials, and house searches, but above all, powerlessness and approval tug at the Bavarian Rasta and shape this phenomenon."
When and where the film will be shown is listed at http://www.derbayerischerebell.de/termine.php. The DVD and video can also soon be ordered at http://www.derbayerischerebell.de/.
Just recently released is the Hans Söllner DVD "Wer bloß lacht, is ned frei!". This contains many recordings from live concerts. At the same time as the DVD, the CD "Oiwei I" was also released. Both can be ordered from the Trikont-Verlag.
