STRAZEkino as part of the film series on the occasion of International Women's Day

Documentary / DE 2025 / Director: Gerd Kroske / 113 min.

Germany immediately after reunification. The second great wave of redundancies has reached the East. Women from the former large-scale industrial enterprises of the GDR talk about themselves and the personal independence they have gained through their work with surprising naturalness. Self-confident and emancipated, they share their astonishment that suddenly only men are supposed to do their jobs. They also talk about the utopias of the past that no longer exist today. We also see footage of their day-to-day work in industrial buildings and brown coal mines that have long since disappeared. The interviews have been preserved on old U-matic tapes from the stocks of the former Leipzig pirate radio station KANAL X.

"Stolz und Eigensinn" is a media film that closes a gap and portrays women who have retained their pride and stubbornness to this day. What was once gained? What has been lost? What has happened?
