The area is famous as a great environmental disaster, a product of uncurbed open-cast mining and chemical production.

This object lesson in environmental vandalism, is now an eco-tourist attraction, reflecting the tensions between the old East Germany and the new, post-unification Germany. The hypnotic electronic music is constructed and mixed from the industrial sounds recorded on location. Written by Kurzfilmtage - international short film festival Oberhausen See less
