Sibylle Dahrendorf
I have lived in Berlin since 1992 and - when I was still healthy - worked as a freelance author for television (including 3sat, ARTE, Deutsche Welle, ARD), realised reports and television features and countless magazine reports, including in Bosnia, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Poland, Kosovo, Israel and Africa. From 1997 to 2008 I regularly travelled to Sarajevo once a year, where I reported on the Sarajevo Film Festival and much more. I was actually always on the road. I was able to realise a cinema documentary (2009-2012). In 2015, I had to give up filming - and everything that goes with it - due to my illnesses.
