Sam – A Saxon

This new German drama is based on the incredible, true story of Samuel Meffire (Malick Bauer), the first black policeman in East Germany. The gripping series follows Sam’s irrepressible search for his place in an intensely prejudiced society.

In his fight to overcome the system, he becomes the face of an anti-racism campaign and a symbol of a new Germany. However, his meteoric rise to fame is quickly followed by an abrupt downfall as he ends up behind bars with German tabloids branding him “public enemy number one”.
