Siegen oder sterben

1976 · 88 min · ★ 8.0 · Documentary, History

The impact of new documents from the international conflict that shook the world is enormous. Never-before-seen footage has emerged for the first time from previously secret archives. The murderous encirclement battles in Russia, the Battle of Britain, and the heroic deeds of countless lone fighters in Potsdam complete the circle of horror, from the Polish campaign to the harrowing images of refugee treks in the winter of 1944/45.

Now the others are the victims, but Sarah almost loses her mind...

In German kitchens, over 7 billion eggs are cooked every year, more than 2.3 million tons of meat are consumed, 29 billion liters of milk are drunk and more and more fish is being eaten. But where does all this come from? Is the fish caught by a white-bearded captain with a crew of children? Does the chicken live on an idyllic farm with a rooster on the manure? And are pigs actually always happy and cows purple and colorful? The reality is different - a world full of battery hens, huge fish farms and slaughterhouses. Animals are production units - without a soul, without the right to a life. The main thing is cheap. This documentary provides unsparing insights into the depths of the factory farming industry and reveals the true origins of our food, free from suggestive advertising messages.
