Overview
A man is found brutally murdered in rural Lower Saxony: Arash Naderi migrated to Germany from Iran just a few months ago. For the investigators Julia Grosz and Torsten Falke there are some indications that it could be a politically motivated murder; the dead person may have fallen victim to a right-wing act of violence. As Falke and Grosz quickly discover, Arash Naderi was indeed harassed in the period leading up to his death. Namely by farmers from the area, whose ringleaders have often come into conflict with the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. He regularly hosts meetings in his barn and is known to stir people up. Falke and Grosz soon find out what these conspiratorial meetings are about. The farmers turn out to be militant environmentalists and plan campaigns against fracking. It is becoming increasingly clear that it was not his background that made the victim a target, but perhaps his job. Arash Naderi worked as a driver for a natural gas company.
About the show
Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
