From the Reports of Security Guards & Patrol Services Part 1

‘Nr. 1 – Aus Berichten der Wach- und Patrouillendienste’, FRG 1985, directed by Helke Sander, 12 min, with English subtitles, rating: 12

A young woman draws attention to her lack of housing by means of a spectacular stunt: With her two small children, she climbs a construction crane, crawls to the very edge of the boom, and threatens to jump off if she is not guaranteed affordable housing by the evening. Helke Sanders’ short film was awarded the Golden Bear at the Berlinale in 1985.
