Little known aspects of Dr. Jose Rizal’s first trip to Europe are revealed in this new documentary. The project began when former senator Loren Legarda toured the small German town of Wilhelmsfeld in 2019 together with Dr. Fritz Hack Ullmer. Dr Ullmer is the great-grandson of Pastor Karl Ullmer who hosted Rizal for three months in Wilhelmsfeld in 1886. The memories of that stay, as well as Rizal’s correspondence and memorabilia have since become part of the Ullmer family’s legacy through three generations.

Finding Rizal in a Time of Barriers was conceptualized and envisioned by 3-term Senator, Deputy Speaker and Antique Congresswoman Loren Legarda in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs-Philippine Embassy in Berlin and produced by Light Vision Films.
