TOTAL TRUST won the "Deutscher Dokumentarfilmpreis 2024".

Our thanks to the jury, SWR and MFG. Our warmest thoughts to the director Jialing Zhang, the whole crew and the protagonists. We thank them for their bravery.

"It’s a strange time to celebrate but more of a time to remember and honor all the courageous people who took part in the film to make it possible. We all raise a toast to that, and specially to Sophia. She is not forgotten." says Jialing.

❓Total Trust is an eye-opening and deeply disturbing story of surveillance technology, abuse of power and (self-)censorship. Taking China as a mirror, the film sounds an alarm about the increasing use of surveillance tools around the world - even in democratically run countries. If this is the present, what does our future look like?
