Film portrait Family Bopp

Rescue beyond all likelihood

Within a few months, the previously lively three-year-old has become an apathetic, convulsing bundle. When the parents shortly thereafter also recognize the first symptoms of the mysterious condition in their younger daughter, a race against time begins. The fact that a highly effective therapy is finally found seems like a stroke of luck beyond all probability. But it is also a testimony to the fact that, in principle, a cure is possible if treatment is started in time.

Solidarität mit den „Waisen der Medizin“

Early in her husband's first term, Eva Luise Köhler decided to lend her voice to people with rare diseases. In doing so, she became a "beacon of hope" for many. Her goal: more research so that all people can realize their right to health. The Köhler family was aware that such a mission would require many comrades-in-arms and staying power. "My wife set out to do this, and I admire her for it," confesses the former German president in an interview with Britta Wauer.

Film project by Britta Wauer

Showing face for more research on rare diseases

In the midst of the pandemic, filmmaker Britta Wauer portrayed companions and supporters of our foundation's work. In twelve episodes, the Grimme Award winner explores what drives people who work in research and science, in treatment rooms, meeting rooms or at their desks at home to ensure that (their) children with rare diseases can hope for urgently needed therapies.
