Film Series for Made in Germany?

Join the Harvard Art Museums on October 12 at 2pm for a film series. The two films being shown document and archive the lives of migrants and reveal their experiences of exploitation, neglect, and erasure. Angelika Nguyen’s "Brotherland Has Burned Down" (1991; original German title: Bruderland ist abgebrannt) examines the lives of Vietnamese migrants in the GDR before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Pınar Öğrenci’s "Good Luck in Germany" (2024; original German title: Glück Auf in Deutschland) focuses on the lives of migrants from Turkey and the mining industry in the FRG’s Ruhr region.
