Luden
On Prime Video
A gritty, 1980s Hamburg crime saga centred on the rise of a pimp cartel, balancing glamour against the brutal exploitation and territorial violence of the red-light district.
Inspired by true events, the gangster epic LUDEN tells the rise of the Nutella Gang, the most famous pimp cartel in Hamburg's legendary Reeperbahn during the 1980s. The unusual cartel turns the rough red-light district in St. Pauli into a glamourous place, but it is also the beginning of a power struggle with the established pimps of the GMBH.
