About This Movie

We Are Young. We Are Strong. delves into a dark chapter in Germany's history with raw intensity. Set amidst the chaos of the 1992 Rostock riots, it paints a chilling portrait of xenophobia and mob mentality. The pacing is relentless, mirroring the escalating violence, while the performances are gripping, pulling you into the fear and desperation of those trapped in the flames. Qurbani's direction is unflinching, capturing the atmosphere of tension and dread that permeates the film. The use of practical effects to depict the riots feels stark and unsettling, making the viewer almost complicit in the horror. It's a heavy watch, but it’s an important reminder of the shadows lurking in society, and how easily hatred can manifest.
