Overview

Portrait of a private coal company in East Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district in 1988/89. The feisty woman boss runs the business with humour and understanding. Her seven male employees respect her. To the outside world, they are all tough guys, but as they describe their jobs and personal situations, above and beyond the hard manual labour, their vulnerability starts to come to light.

Viewing Notes

Viewed on the flight to Los Angeles. If you didn’t know you’d think this was capturing working class Germany from a much earlier decade. Quite fascinating and up close look at these ppl and their lives.
