2024 · 1 season

A thoughtful, talk-driven documentary that asks you to listen closely as young people reflect on identity and division.

Overview
Prejudices and clichés about East and West Germany continue to shape parts of society. How does this affect Generation Z, who only know about the division of Germany from stories? Seven women and men aged 21 to 28 - representing Generation Z - offer an insight into the mindset and everyday life of a generation that is growing up in a time when the East-West conflict, political radicalization and social upheaval are more relevant than ever. The focus is on three subject areas: family and identity, business and career, and politics and social engagement.
