The ARD drama series ‘Breitscheidplatz 19/12’ premiered at the 2026 FilmFest Hamburg, examining the circumstances surrounding the 2016 terrorist attack at the Berlin Breitscheidplatz Christmas market. The six-part series, directed by David Nawrath, details the events leading up to the attack and explores how a chain of failures and friction between German security agencies allowed Anis Amri to carry out the strike despite being under observation. On December 19, 2016, the Tunisian national killed a Polish truck driver, hijacked a heavy goods vehicle, and drove it into a crowd, resulting in 13 deaths and approximately 70 injuries. The production features actors Albrecht Schuch and Bayan Layla in roles representing state security and police officers. Internationally titled ‘Blindspot Berlin’, the thriller dramatizes the investigation by the North Rhine-Westphalia State Criminal Police Office (LKA) and the influence of radical hate preachers. The narrative highlights that informants had provided specific information regarding Amri to the LKA as early as 2015. Key characters include LKA investigator Frank Laudin and undercover informant Murat Cem. The series is scheduled to air on November 1 and 6, with availability in the ARD media library starting October 30.
