Europa - Ein Kontinent als Beute

2017Movie

Documentary

For decades, Europeans between Finland and Cyprus were united by a promise of peace and greater prosperity. But since the financial crisis of 2008, the European project has been in its worst state since World War II. The continent is divided by neoliberal economic concepts, corruption, and banks that operate globally. Labor rights and social standards are being increasingly eroded, fueling ethnic hatred, class struggle, and nationalism, and driving people into the arms of right-wing populists. In Christoph Schuch's documentary "Europe – A Continent as Prey," important questions are raised about the problem, foremost among them, of course: How did it come to this? And how can we get out of this dangerous situation?
