DramaHistory

Not an easy decision! District Administrator Hans Schuierer from the Upper Palatinate first opposed his own political line in 1981 and finally against the entire Bavarian Free State and Prime Minister Strauss. Because the planned reprocessing plant Wackersdorf promised 3,000 new jobs for the structurally weak region - but what if these are associated with massive health and ecological damage for future generations? Isn't it then the duty of a politician and citizen to resist?

VIBE

A gripping, grounded drama that immerses you in the tense atmosphere of 1980s political protest. It feels like a slow-burn thriller, forcing you to confront difficult ethical questions about progress, environment, and civic duty.
