Peter war
Peter Krieg (actually Wilhelm Gladitz ; born August 27, 1947 in Schwäbisch Gmünd ; † July 22, 2009 in Berlin ) was a German documentary filmmaker , producer and author.
Live and act
In the early 1970s, Krieg and his wife Heidi Knott studied at the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin. They shot and produced their films together for their own company Teldok Film Television and Documentar Film GmbH & Co. KG . They received funding from various institutions such as the World Health Organization or from charitable institutions such as the Bread for the World Foundation . They kept the film rights themselves in order to exclude external control in dealing with their films, even if this meant a loss of income.
In his documentaries he dealt with the problematic relationships between the so-called “first” and “third world”. The film Bottle Children (1975) attacks the Nestlé Group because of its baby food campaign in developing countries.
The film Septemberweizen (1980), which received an Adolf Grimme Prize with gold and a film ribbon in silver in 1981, met with a particularly positive response . Using the example of American wheat production, he researched the causes of hunger in times of abundance.
In 1983, Krieg received honorable recognition from the Adolf Grimme Prize for the documentation at Bahnhofstrasse Zurich and Das Packeissyndrom .
From 1994, Krieg also dealt with the production, advice and support of special productions in the media sector, for example for the Expo 2000 .
Krieg died at the age of 61 as a result of a major operation.
