Sandra Naumann
Co-author/Research/Police expert
Born in 1976 and raised in Leipzig.
Even as a young child, she enjoyed visiting her father at his workplace in the prison: The Colonel of the Volkspolizei serves as the chief physician for all prison hospitals in the Leipzig district. This experience sparked a lifelong passion for crime, criminals, and law enforcement, which she channels into her involvement in numerous documentary series.
She studied media studies in Leipzig and Manchester, while also actively participating in the techno scene of Leipzig and Berlin during the vibrant 1990s. Following this, she worked as a curator for major international media exhibitions in Berlin and Linz before ultimately choosing to focus on documentary filmmaking.
She possesses excellent connections within state criminal investigation departments, state police directorates, and criminal circles, characterized by mutual respect for each other.
She has been residing in Berlin since 2010.
