Der Schneekönig (2012)

Directed by Timo Großpietsch, Johannes Edelhoff

Documentary · 1h 12m

Ronald Miehling is a living neighborhood legend. At the end of the 1980s, Miehling was one of the most powerful druglords in Hamburg. Miehling's cocaine business was flourishing and he enjoyed a life of luxury. But the police are always on his trail. A game of cat and mouse begins. At one point, "The Snow King" flees to Colombia, but is eventually caught and convicted. Today Miehling is an open prisoner. He meets up with friends from back then and tries to prepare for life after prison. The film shows an unvarnished picture of the former "Snow King", meeting old companions, friends, detectives and his mother - the inside view of a world that we otherwise only know from the headlines.
