Ein Mensch, der zu Fuss geht, ist verdächtig

In 1977, Daimler-Benz wanted to start building a test track in the Baden-Württemberg province near Boxberg. The project met with fierce resistance from local farmers right from the start. The directorial trio Heuser/Marcello/Wittenberg accompanied the conflict from 1981-83 and instead of a simple reportage, they provide a picture puzzle of struggles: international and local, historical, present and future. The music of the Chilean communist and singer-songwriter Viktor Jara, who was murdered in 1973, pervades the film. Images from Brazil and the exploitation of the rural population there through neo-colonial expansion are juxtaposed with rallies in Stuttgart and German political talk shows. (Patrick Kokoszynski)
