Heaven Above Zurich

About This Movie

Heaven Above Zurich shines a light on the quiet yet profound work of the Salvation Army through the lens of Officer Fredi Inniger. It’s more than just a documentary; it’s a raw look into daily acts of kindness and the struggles faced by the marginalized in Zurich. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of each interaction. Thümena’s camera becomes an unobtrusive observer, capturing the genuine emotions of the people involved. The film’s atmosphere is both somber and hopeful. It’s distinctively human, relying on real-life moments rather than dramatized narratives, which makes it resonate on a deeper level. On some level, it forces you to confront societal issues we often overlook.
