Chrigu

Parties, a trip to India, concerts – Christian, not yet 20, always has his camera with him. Raised on a farm in the Jura and full of ambition, he dreams of a career as a film director. Even when he is diagnosed with a brain tumour at 21, the camera keeps rolling. Accompanied by his friends, among them the Swiss hip-hop band Mundartisten, Chrigu goes his own way – with great courage and strength.

Chrigu premiered at the 57th Berlinale in 2007 and was shown in Swiss cinemas and at festivals around the world. Above: the official trailer.
