work - DDR in 10 Minuten - Arbeit

"DDR in 10 Minuten" is series about life in the German Democratic Republic (DDR), which was created for the central German public broadcaster, Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk. The Youtube series looks behind the clichés and shows peculiarities of life in the DDR e.g. housing, emancipation, the Stasi as well as the topic of environmental pollution.

The now 12-part series is based on the series "Damals in der DDR" (2004) and "Damals nach der DDR" (2010), both productions by LOOKSfilm, from which interviews and reenactments are taken. As author, I drafted the scripts for episodes 5-12 of "DDR in 10 Minuten", researched topics and archive footage, chose excerpts from the above series, wrote the commentary, and edited everything into 10-minute episodes each.
