“BABO” – Exclusively and worldwide on Netflix from October 28
Because of his uncompromising authenticity, the career of Offenbach-born Aykut Anhan – aka Haftbefehl – reached unexpected heights. His music carries the rawness of his youth: poverty, crime, drugs, and violence were ever-present, flowing unfiltered into his lyrics.
The documentary Babo: The Haftbefehl-Story takes viewers deep into the world of Aykut Anhan, the man behind the artist persona Haftbefehl. It traces his rise to an icon, peels back the glittering façade of show business, and reveals a layered portrait of a man locked in a constant struggle with the demons of his past and present. Far from the clichés of street rap glorifying drugs or violence, the film uses powerful imagery to show how his childhood trauma has gradually pushed him towards the edge.
