Der gekaufte Sommer

DirectorMichael Busse

1983
1h 32m
Documentary

A study of the economic relationship between developing countries and industrialized nations, developed using the example of an agricultural cooperative in Upper Volta. Beans are grown on huge monocultures for the European market, largely displacing the cultivation of urgently needed staple foods. The critical essence of the film is largely weakened by confusing dramatic effects and overly simplistic symbolism.
