Der Zug 1988

Directed by Thomas Schmitz-Bender

The poem "Der Anachronistische Zug oder Freiheit und Democracy" (The Anachronistic Train, or Freedom and Democracy), written by Berthold Brecht in 1947, forms the basis for the campaign launched on the occasion of the 1980 federal elections under the slogan "Brecht statt Strauß" (Brecht instead of Strauß): a journey across the entire Federal Republic.
