The film project „Marx’ Gespenster“ by Jürgen Seidler received the development funding from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media at the beginning of June 2016.
The film follows Marx during his years in exile as well as one of his fiercest enemies: Wilhelm Stieber, director of the secret service in Prussia. The conflict between the two men is also a conflict of ideology: revolution or assimilation, dictatorship of social circumstances or freedom.
