About This Movie
Das Gaswerk is a fascinating dive into the complicated aftermath of industry in East Germany. It immerses you in a Berlin workers' district, where the gasworks once stood as a symbol of the GDR's industrial might—and its environmental failings. The film presents a raw and unfiltered look at the lives of former workers, exploring their uncertain futures after the plant’s closure. The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, as it captures the haunting atmosphere of a district once vibrant with labor. The documentary doesn’t shy away from the gritty realities of redundant lives and the scars left by industrialization. It manages to humanize a broader political narrative, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of socialist documentaries.
