I Was a Witness (2026)

Ich war ein Zeuge

A simple photography assignment becomes a gripping descent into the hidden realms of a parallel faith. Photographer Andreas Reiner connects with ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses—individuals brave enough to break free from a rigidly governed religious system. Through raw, heartfelt dialogues, they share their upbringing inside a stifling framework of doctrine, emotional coercion, sexual abuse, conversion therapy, and the profound life-shattering aftermath of walking away.
