Our Children (1989)
From an official perspective, marginal youth culture did not exist in East Germany. The topic of subcultures was taboo in the GDR, and groups such as goths, skinheads, anti-skins, punks and neo-Nazis were dismissed as social deviations promoted by western countries.

Over the course of four years, he brought them before the camera in an attempt to understand what drew them to these groups.Our Children featuring Roland Steiner and Christa Wolf is streaming with subscription on Kanopy.
