General
DOCUMENTARY
He was the subject of a documentary by Japanese TV network NHK. The documentary was broadcast in May 2018. "They were with the camera in training, in the gym, at games, in my flat in Giessen, with me and my family in Rockenberg and when I went to a restaurant with my friend Nico Dreimuller. Everywhere actually. It was sometimes exhausting to be accompanied at all times but they were super cooperative and left me alone if I wanted to. Interviews were okay until an hour before the games but then I had to move on to my routines. It's about inclusion. The film should open the minds of the Japanese public that there are probably many disabled people who live in isolation." (mittelhessen.de, 04 May 2018)
