Krieg oder Frieden

About This Movie

So, 'Krieg oder Frieden' is this intriguing documentary that dives deep into the history of Wünsdorf, a military base that has seen quite the transformation over the years. You've got the Prussians, the Wehrmacht, and then the Red Army all leaving their mark. What stands out for me is Elfi Mikesch's approach—it's not just a linear narrative but a rich essay that weaves in perspectives on ecological urban development. Ekhart Hahn, this fascinating figure, is at the heart of it, rallying artists to think about sustainability in a place so steeped in military history. It feels quite reflective, almost meditative, with an atmosphere that subtly invites you to ponder the past while looking towards a greener future.
