Henryk from the Back Row (German: Herr Wichmann aus der dritten Reihe) is a German documentary film directed by Andreas Dresen. The film was released in 2012 and follows the CDU politician Henryk Wichmann as a member of the Landtag of Brandenburg.[2]
Wichmann was previously the subject of Dresen's documentary Herr Wichmann von der CDU. After Wichmann was elected to the Landtag of Brandenburg in 2009, Dresen had the idea to direct a sequel. Dresen followed Wichmann for one parliamentary year and produced around 100 hours of uncut material, which he edited down to 1.5 hours of uncommented film.[3] [4]
The film premiered on February 12, 2012 at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in the Panorama section.[5]
