Peter Kloeppel’s documentary, “How do we solve the refugee crisis?” explores the complex topic of migration, following his departure from RTL news. Airing on October 31, it examines diverse perspectives on the refugee debate, featuring Kloeppel’s visits to shelters and communities grappling with refugee integration. The film aims to counter sensationalism in journalism, offering insights into the emotional challenges of deportation and the impact of immigration policies, including Denmark’s strict approach as a potential model for Germany.

In his first documentary project following his tenure as the RTL news anchor, Peter Kloeppel, aged 66, tackles one of the most pressing subjects of our times: migration. Titled ‘Peter Kloeppel: How Do We Solve the Refugee Crisis?’ airing on October 31 at 20:15, Kloeppel and his team explore various viewpoints surrounding the refugee discussion. The documentary will also provide an insider’s view of life within a refugee shelter.

Understanding Complexity in the Refugee Debate

On August 23, Kloeppel, accompanied by his sports co-host Ulrike von der Groeben, 67, signed off from RTL aktuell. Their farewell was met with well-wishes from notable figures like Ursula von der Leyen, 66, who commended their decision to step away at the peak of their careers. In addressing the refugee debate in Germany, Kloeppel emphasizes the intricacy of the issue, stating that it’s “one of the most complex challenges of our time, with no single correct answer.” He expresses concern over the prevailing sentiments in the nation, stating, “We need to respect public concerns and foster greater understanding among all parties involved—politicians, those seeking assistance, and each other.”

Committed to Responsible Journalism

Kloeppel and RTL are dedicated to promoting informed discourse around this critical issue. Moving away from his previous documentary series ‘Durchleuchtet,’ which highlighted various societal concerns, Kloeppel’s current initiative focuses purely on serious journalism devoid of sensationalism. In an era marked by skepticism towards misinformation, Kloeppel serves as a pillar of reliability, bridging the gap between the media and the public. His documentary takes him beyond the cozy confines of the studio, venturing directly into communities, the EU’s borders, and local refugee shelters to seek the truth.

Engaging with the Reality of Refugee Shelters

In Lorsch, Hesse, Kloeppel visits a refugee shelter to engage with individuals about their migration stories, challenges, and future aspirations. He discusses with local officials the logistics of effectively accommodating refugees in various municipalities, addressing both the fiscal and emotional burdens faced by these communities. Meanwhile, his team investigates the sentiments of residents in Ziesendorf, where plans are underway to house 125 male refugees. The documentary explores residents’ concerns, motivations for opposition, and potential paths for integration.

Exploring the Challenges of Deportation

For this 90-minute segment, Kloeppel’s crew gains exclusive access to a training program for federal police officers preparing for deportation flights. They delve into the procedural aspects of deportations and the emotional hurdles faced by law enforcement in these tense scenarios. Beyond Germany’s borders, Kloeppel’s team travels to the Turkish coast to uncover the extensive business of human smuggling, investigating the mechanics of these operations and discussing how to combat this criminal enterprise while considering its impact on human lives.

Can Denmark’s Approach Serve as a Model for Germany?

Denmark has significantly reduced its immigration numbers through strict policies. Kloeppel raises the question of whether Denmark’s approach could be a viable model for Germany. Pursuing a refugee policy that resonates with the public’s concerns is imperative. Ahead of the airing, Kloeppel emphasizes the documentary’s mission: “We are on a quest for constructive solutions.” Anticipation grows as viewers await the insights and proposals he will present.
