Pommerland

In Pommerland, director Volker Koepp delves into the struggles of Pomerania's inhabitants amid high unemployment rates and a declining agricultural economy. The documentary showcases the stark contrast between the region's idyllic landscapes and the harsh realities faced by its residents, with some villages experiencing unemployment as high as 75%.

The film follows various individuals, including a young couple attempting to revive an agricultural farm with EU funding. It also features stories from older residents, including a 90-year-old retiree, who share their memories of Pomerania's rich history. Koepp's work captures the resilience of the community as they confront the challenges of modern life while honoring their past.
