Arbeit im Mehringhof oder: Wege ins Paradies

1h 30m

In 1980, a company in Berlin-Kreuzberg sold its factory premises to 30 alternative projects that wanted to try out self-management and alternative forms of work. The documentary film attempts to show the extent to which these aspirations were realized; it describes the problems and forms of self-management and the initial difficulties that Mehringhof had, particularly with its financial backers.
