After the season-opening service at Borussia Dortmund's founding church, we set up a peace memorial with some young people. Two days later, I read in an email: Our film producer and I were still standing together with a long-time Borussia fan and a few other devoted supporters after the revelation of your peace memorial. A year ago, we had interviewed him and his wife and therefore knew them a little bit. The friendly conversation took an abrupt turn when he told us about his wife's cancer. He had quit his job and his wife was undergoing treatment. The friendly conversation took an abrupt turn when he told us about his wife's cancer. He had quit his job to care for her. Sadness and bitterness were suddenly noticeable. We stayed with him – in the midst of the hustle and bustle after the season-opening service – and bore his burden with him. On the way back, I was very moved by the story of this fan. What could we do?
Two days later, I asked the film producer if he could edit last year's footage for Michael and his wife. Not for public viewing, just for the two of them. A few minutes later, he replied: "I already spoke to my friend about it that evening. Let's do it! Of course, no bill. We can only do good here! - What was the message on the peace monument? ‘Peace on Earth!’ in German, Arabic, Spanish and English. And now: a personal video – as a message of peace – in the middle of Dortmund.
