Gladbeck: The Hostage Crisis
Volker Heise






An uncompromising look at the moment news became merchandise and crime became spectacle
It started with a shared curiosity — about how stories can move people, and how brands can be part of that. ANORAK, known for bold, cinematic work in commercial film, joins forces with FILM FIVE, one of Europe’s most respected voices in documentary. Together, we bring two worlds closer: the precision and visual strength of advertising, and the emotional truth of documentary. We see an opportunity to explore new creative ground — with brands that value depth, nuance, and genuine connection.
