’Gott und Vaterland’ (’God and native country’)- a production for the ORF series kreuz und quer - narrates the extraordinary stories of Muslims serving in the Austrian Army, more specifically the story of an emancipated Muslim woman and the story of a convert. Two completely different interpretations of a faith, two different views on what it means to be an Austrian citizen, two different reasons to serve the „fatherland“ as a soldier.
