The Netflix documentary Big Mäck: Gangsters and Gold tells the story of Donald Stellwag, a German citizen who was wrongfully convicted of armed robbery in 1991. Despite evidence suggesting he was in a different town at the time of the crime, Stellwag was identified as the perpetrator based on witness testimonies and ear analysis. After spending nine years in prison, he was released in 2001 when the real culprit was identified through fingerprints. The documentary presents Stellwag's tumultuous life, including his difficult childhood, brain tumor diagnosis, and involvement in illegal activities. The film's strength lies in its outlandish and unpredictable story, which hooks viewers from the start. However, the muddled timeline and gimmicky reenactments can be distracting. The film is a must-watch for true crime enthusiasts, as Stellwag's story raises important questions about the failings of the criminal justice system. While viewers may shift between feeling empathy for Stellwag and questioning his truthfulness, the documentary leaves parts of his story open to interpretation.
