Vienna, Austria, March 2, 1998. Natascha Kampusch is ten years old when she is dragged into a white van by unemployed communication engineer, Wolfgang Priklopil, on her way to school. Beneath his house in a middle class residential area, Priklopil has built a secret cell to imprison her. After more than eight years, Natascha managed to flee from this hell. Priklopil committed suicide the same day. Peter Reichard, who had interviewed Natascha Kampusch for several months for a documentary film, collaborated on the screenplay and was - together with Evelyne Reichard - co-producer of this amazing movie. "3096 days" is a production of Constantin Film.

„They get drunk; they lose control; then they get violent without warning,“ warns Wolfgang Weidemann, Chief of the Davidwache Police Precinct in Hamburg, Germany. But it’s not the muscled pimps of the notorious St. Pauli red-light district that worry him these days. It’s the pale teenagers from the suburbs on alcohol binges through the disco scene, a source of frequent – and very serious – violence in the city. Seventeen are arrested this Friday, as Reichard and his camera crew walk the beat with the law officers of the Davidwache. (TVMovie)
