Wochenschau: Im Auftrag der Arbeiterbewegung. Gegeninformation im heißen Herbst aus Betrieben in Italien 1970

Directed by Gisela Tuchtenhagen

"New tasks are emerging for filmmakers on behalf of the labour movement" – this early work by Gisela Tuchtenhagen, Wochenschau 4, was produced as a collective effort within the highly politicised DFFB (German Film and Television Academy, Berlin). It not only documents the "Hot Autumn"– the strike movement in Italy in 1969/1970 – but is itself a contribution to the "campaign for counter-information" to reporting on middle-class radio and television.
