An unwilling revolutionary, he refused to be an opportunist within the state sport apparatus and was excluded from the GDR’s program for high-performance athletes because of his critical attitude towards the party and state. Placed under Stasi surveillance, he spent the rest of his career pedaling into a political headwind. Lötzsch battled on alone, recruiting a non-sanctioned coach, who sacrificed his career to help the gifted cyclist. At races, Lötzsch was always the outsider, but he was cheered to victory by a loyal group of fans. For seventeen years, he won race after race, but he was never allowed to compete in a major competition outside the GDR. “Sportsman Lötzsch” tells the story of an apolitical man who embarked on a personal campaign against opportunism, cowardice and betrayal, thereby upsetting the apparatus of a repressive state. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 655 4 Documentary films 260 Germany : |bHanfgarn & Ufer Filmproduktion, |c2007. 041 deu |jeng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |992018FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_2046_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9147983FL |bFL |d2020-12-09 |l0 |oFL Record 2046 |pHU_OSA_00003704.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2020-12-09 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 loVx8NY8 966 True |bHU_OSA_00003704 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
