"Following in the Footsteps of My Ancestors" is a personal documentary by Ute Köhler tracing her family's emigration from southern Germany to Galicia (present-day Poland) in the 18th century and later to Volhynia (Ukraine). Ute Köhler retraces this 240-year-old journey herself, hiking from Dolgesheim to Ulm and cycling along the Danube to Vienna. Through interviews with witnesses like her great-uncle Ludwig Zimmermann (born 1902 in Volhynia) and conversations with historians and archivists in Poland, the film reveals the moving story of German colonists who lived as farmers in German colonies until they were forced to flee during World War I. Zimmermann's family was deported to the Russian interior in 1915 and returned to Germany in 1918. The documentary combines personal investigation with historical analysis, culminating in Ute Köhler's decision to transform this family history into a novel honoring her courageous ancestors.
