"El método Merkel" profundiza en la historia de la primera mujer canciller de Alemania. Dirk Kurbjuweit trabaja en el periódico "Spiegel" y ha escrito mucho sobre Angela Merkel. En este documental sonoro, nos resume los años de su cancillería y, además, dos décadas de historia europea. Con grabaciones originales de múltiples discursos, repasaremos la carrera política de una de las personalidades más fascinantes de Alemania.

Zum anderen als visionslose Machtpolitikerin. 16 Jahre lang lenkte sie die Geschicke Deutschlands - und Europas. Ausgerechnet eine Frau, die vom Leben in einer sozialistischen Parteidiktatur geprägt war, sollte die westliche Welt durch schwere Krisen führen: ob Flüchtlings- oder Finanzkrise, Trumps Präsidentschaft oder zuletzt die Corona-Pandemie.
