criticism
"Director Anna Ditges unfolds a vivid picture of civic engagement, lets investors and administrators have their say and shows the development of the conflict, which is an example of many recent efforts by citizens' initiatives to encourage participation."
“Long-lasting applause and sometimes exuberant comments from the audience made the director shine. She is also responsible for the camera and script. The efforts of the citizens were wonderfully reflected, judged many viewers. "
“With my films I want to reach, touch and move people,” says the native Rhinelander. She has definitely succeeded in doing this with this stimulating, exemplary long-term documentary. "
