Gibsy - Die Geschichte des Boxers Johann Rukeli Trollmann

Semi-documentary drama about Johann Rukeli Trollmann, one of the most promising talents in German boxing in the late 1920s and early 1930s. After winning the German championship in 1933, he seemed destined for an international career. But the Nazis deprived him of his title, since he is a descendant of a "Gypsy" family. In a daring protest against the Nazi's racial fanaticism, he appeared with bleached hair and powdered face at his next (and eventually last) fight. This ended his career. After being arrested in 1942, he was murdered in a concentration camp in 1944.
