Fortschritt im Tal der Ahnungslosen

30 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain the legacy of the German Democratic Republic is at stake in the ruins of the 'Progress' factory. Once producing harvester machinery the factory grounds today house asylum seekers who are confronted by weekly racist demonstrations in East Germany. Former factory workers of 'Progress' help Syrian refugees with their German Integration Course. What starts with a German language lesson in the 'Progress' ruin ends with classes of political education and a GDR military camp.
