Boney M: Disco. Macht. Legende.

Boney M. is one of the most successful German pop acts of all time. While "Rasputin" has gone viral on TikTok with over 22 billion views, this documentary reveals for the first time the story behind the glamour. It offers a psychological profile of producer Frank Farian and lets singers Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett recount their experiences of everyday racism in 1970s Germany. A pop phenomenon caught between art, commerce, and identity - from exoticism as a marketing strategy and unequal power dynamics to the price of fame.
