Mitgift - Ostdeutschland im Wandel

Mitgift - Ostdeutschland im Wandel

"The environmental crimes in the GDR and how they were solved - a moving story."

From October 3, 1989 to October 3, 1990, filmmaker Roland Blum was commissioned by ZDF to capture how people in the GDR fared during the period of change, only to meet them again ten years later. The changes that unification with West Germany brought with it often manifested themselves in the way the environment was treated, because it was seen as the GDR's "dowry". The focus is on the Lubmin nuclear power plant, which was shut down in 1990, or natural disasters such as floods.
