The Ibiza Affair (Season 1)

The Ibiza Affair (Die Ibiza Affäre, 2021) is an Austrian-German political drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Christopher Schier traced the story behind the video that brought down Austria's coalition government in May 2019.

The footage dates to 2017: a rented villa on Ibiza, a senior FPÖ official, and a woman introduced as the niece of a Russian businessman, talking through government contracts in exchange for party donations. Two journalists — one from Der Spiegel, one from Süddeutsche Zeitung — spent years working the story before a simultaneous release that set off a full political crisis. With Andreas Lust and Nicholas Ofczarek. Stream The Ibiza Affair online on iFILM.
