In her last movie “Roots Germania” Mo was able to solve a trauma caused by racism; She undertakes a journey to discover her roots and identity, facing her African father in Ghana, her White German Mother in German, and Jürgen Rieger, the head of the neonaziparty NPD. The catalyst of this journey, a threat over her life received by the NeoNazi Band “White Aryan Rebels”, becomes a poignant tool for self discovery and a sharp reflection to matters of racism in Germans society of today. Mo’s seeking for social justice is not by chance. At the age of 5 weeks Mo was sent to an orphanage, and then raised by foster parents and her white grandmother.
