Gibsy - Rukeli Trollmanns Kampf ums Leben backdrop

Gibsy - Rukeli Trollmanns Kampf ums Leben 2014 Directed by Eike Besuden

Film tells the story of the boxer who sensationally won the German light heavyweight championship in 1933 and was stripped of the championship because he is a "gypsy". In protest, he went into the next fight as a caricature of an Aryan with white powdered skin and light hair - a dramatic decision.
