action
Agriculture has been practiced in north-eastern Germany for centuries. The sweeping fields of the Uckermark extend to the horizon. When the GDR's agricultural production cooperatives were liquidated, the fields were able to recover. Nature reserves have emerged and family farms have switched to organic farming . But global greed for land has also reached the north of Brandenburg. The state is now selling the land to major foreign investors. Monocultures , wind turbines , animal fattening farms and biogas plants are changing the landscape. Volker Koepp's film is about the life of the people in this sparsely populated area. He visits his immediate neighbors, villagers, newcomers, farmers and environmentalists. They talk about their everyday life, their worries and visions.
background
Landstück was produced by Vineta Film in co-production with Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg . After Das weite Feld (1976) and Uckermark (2002), the film is Volker Koepp's third documentary about the region and its people.
