The Empty Grave/ Kaburi Wazi wins big at the Germany Television Awards 2026
“In the "Information & Culture" competition, the documentary "The Empty Grave" (ZDF/Das kleine Fernsehspiel) by directors Agnes Lisa Wegner and Cece Mlay received an award. It follows two families from Tanzania as they search for their ancestors. Their research leads them to Germany, where tens of thousands of human remains from the former German colonies are still stored. These remains were stolen at the beginning of the 20th century – some for research purposes, some as trophies.”
