"Soldier Monika" is premiering at Doclisboa International Film Festival 2024. Monika Donner is a former elite soldier, a transgender woman, a former lawyer in the Austrian Ministry of Defence, an author revered by the far right, embodying complexities that defy populist simplifications about our times. In Paul Poet’s hybrid documentary "Soldier Monika", Sarah Zaharanski now plays her first leading role in a cinema film.
