Wild Republic

Despite widespread lectures and stories about how committing crimes is wrong, teenagers still cross the line of the law. Each of them has their own reasons and goals, but the result is usually the same – they all get caught sooner or later and serve their punishment. Some repent for their actions, while others only regret getting caught. The German series "Wild Republic" vividly demonstrates this.
What is the series Wild Republic about?
Teenagers are too impulsive and sometimes make decisions they later regret. However, having crossed the line of the law, one must remember that punishment will follow. The focus is on a group of teenagers who have offended society and were selected to participate in a correctional program. Lars Zelin is a psychologist who has devised a new method of rehabilitation for such kids and is eager to test it in practice. As part of the experiment, the kids are sent to the foot of the Alps, where they will live in tents and learn to survive in the wild.

Leading the group is Rebecca Fram, who is a friend of Zelin. Her plans included spending two months in nature, but everything went awry as soon as they arrived at their destination. One of the group members was immediately sent home due to a fight, and the next day was marked by a terrible discovery – the lifeless body of Johan.
The day before, there had been a quarrel between Johan and one of the boys, and of course, Johan's opponent becomes the main suspect. However, the criminals quickly found common ground with each other and jointly kidnapped Rebecca, turning her into a hostage. Since Rebecca had not been in contact, Zelin himself set out to search for her. But no one on site is eager to help him, believing that he himself is to blame for what happened…
