The World Cup is so much more than just soccer.
It is culture, identity, energy, memory, and politics - played out on and off the field.

GEGENÜBER - stories with a transatlantic perspective. Articles are available in German, English, French, and Spanish. No subscription needed.

DC/DOX returns to Washington, DC from June 11–14, 2026, and we’re excited to support this year’s festival program.

Join us for three powerful films connected to Germany: Two Mountains Weighing Down My Chest, One in a Million, and Landscapes of Memory. The films explore questions of identity, migration, memory, belonging, and the ways personal histories intersect with larger cultural and political realities.

Several screenings will also feature post-screening conversations with filmmakers and special guests.
