Hermann Göring was Adolf Hitler's right hand and the second man of the Nazi Empire. He signed the “final solution” to eliminate the Jewish people in Europe. While committing crimes against humanity, he was apparently a loving and central member of his family, saving his brother Albert on several occasions, who saved Jews during the war across Europe.
The great-niece of Göring looks like Hermann more than anyone else in the family. She struggled with the Nazi heritage throughout her life, at the age of 30 she got herself sterilized, partly to cut the genes... After decades in the US she decides to leave and settle somewhere else. The film follows her to Germany to dig for her roots, face victims of her family, publish her autobiography and find peace within herself. On this journey she is accompanied by her husband Adi whose historic reflections based on their research add another layer to Bettina's personal story in the film while show their common commitment to deal with the past.

Imagine that you are a child of a dictator with absolute power. Up to the military coup in Chile, in Nazi-Germany, in the 70s in Uganda or anywhere in the world where there is a dictatorship with absolute power. Your father is the most feared person in your country. He can do whatever he wants and probably you can get whatever you want too. But at a certain point history just turns around and people start to call your father a dictator. He is losing everything but you remain his daughter or son with a stigma. But can history change your mind about your father? And can facts effect your emotions? And how will you deal with the heavy heritage that your father leaves behind?
These are the central questions which influenced CHILDREN OF DICTATORS. The program presents some of the most influential dictators of the 20th century from Africa to South America through the eyes of their children and relatives. The hour-long episodes bring a rarely seen personal perspective on history and offer a deeper understanding of the most feared leaders in the world while focusing on the portraits of their children.
The filmmakers worked without a crew, with only two small broadcast cameras in order to have undisturbed and exclusive access to children of dictators, namely Lucia Pinochet in Chile, Jaffar Amin in Uganda, Bettina Göring in Germany and Fidel Castro's daughter in Miami.
