1950 • German Democratic Republic • 13’
The film narrates the construction and the early stage of production of Riesa steelworks shortly after the establishment of the GDR. The workers set up the ovens by hand and there’s a national supporting action to look for crane parts. Critics praised the film for unflatteringly following the workers and documenting specific situations.
