Hunger (1948)
Directed by Karlheinz Schmidt
Documentary · 12m
The film opens with a montage - scenes of hungry people in one city after another.We imagine we are seeing Germany, but then realize we are looking at Paris, London, Naples. The reveal is shocking. The film was made to help Germans realize that they were not the only ones to suffer from the food shortages caused by the war. Its other message was to encourage German farmers to sell their agricultural products instead of hording them.
