This very personal Emmerich biography of Jo Müller, who has accompanied the star director‘s career for over 25 years, tells the fascinating story of a film enthusiast who set out from Sindelfingen to conquer and revolutionize the world of cinema. The Hollywood director has never given anyone else such a deep insight into both his work as a filmmaker and his private life. Not only Roland Emmerich himself has his say, but also long-standing colleagues and, not least, family members such as his sister Ute, who once emigrated with him to America and has since accompanied his spectacular projects as a producer.
