From Darkness into Light – The Web Series

After 8 years in prison for drug trafficking, Sven faces his greatest challenge: building a new life and healing the relationship with his children.
This documentary web series shows his authentic path of transformation – from the darkness of pre-trial detention through therapeutic work in forensic psychiatry to the difficult new beginning in freedom.
What it's about:
Broken family bonds, transgenerational patterns, emotional masculinity, and the question: How much change is truly possible?
Why it matters:
34-44% of offenders in Germany reoffend. One in three inmates is drug-dependent. Sven's story shows that rehabilitation can work – but also how rocky the path is.
