Chris the Swiss, a biographical film and historical animated documentary directed by Anja Kofmel, traces the life of Swiss journalist Christian Würtenberg. In 1992, during the war in former Yugoslavia, he was found strangled in a field in Croatia. Chris' family never understood his desire to go so close to danger as a journalist. Ever since the news of his death broke, the director - and Chris's cousin - has been haunted by the mysteries surrounding his death. So she decided to investigate and reconstruct his story. In doing so, she hopes to explain not only why he went to the heart of the conflict, but also why he lost his life. Chris the Swiss has received more than a dozen awards, notably at festivals, including, in 2019, the Prix du cinéma suisse for best documentary film.
