Interesting facts

Homeopathy Unrefuted? is a 2022 documentary film by Erik Lemke in which homeopaths, guided by the Socratic method, discuss their therapy and reveal numerous internal contradictions. The film deliberately avoids outside commentary, letting the practitioners speak for themselves.

Production and Concept

Homeopathy Unrefuted? is Erik Lemke's second feature-length documentary film, following Berlin Excelsior. In an interview with Deutschlandfunk Kultur, he discussed the lack of a clear, universally practiced concept in homeopathy. According to Lemke, the topic was perfectly suited to the medium of non-confrontational Socratic dialogues, which he hopes will become more widespread in educational work in the future.

Homeopathy Unrefuted? contains illustrations and animated sequences by Matthias Daenschel, with whom Erik Lemke previously collaborated on the Czech animated film Alois Nebel in 2011. Tobias Burkardt contributed the original music, as he did for Berlin Excelsior.
