Wackersdorf
Directed by Oliver Haffner
Produced by if... Productions, ARTE
A morally complex 1980s political drama about a politician's principled stand against his own party over environmental and public health concerns, grounded in real historical conflict.
Not an easy decision! District Administrator Hans Schuierer from the Upper Palatinate first opposed his own political line in 1981 and finally against the entire Bavarian Free State and Prime Minister Strauss. Because the planned reprocessing plant Wackersdorf promised 3,000 new jobs for the structurally weak region - but what if these are associated with massive health and ecological damage for future generations? Isn't it then the duty of a politician and citizen to resist?
