Michel Friedman (a well known person in Germany) in conversation with Franz Müntefering

BEING AN OUTSIDER - and Britten's Peter Grimes

a moving story about an outsider, turned into a scapegoat by his small-minded, vindictive fellow villagers. The only way to escape his wretched life and them, baying for his blood, is by scuttling his boat and drowning at sea. Michel Friedman discusses this with a former chairman of the SPD, minister in several cabinets and vice chancellor: Franz Müntefering.
