The Environmentalist Movement
For more than a decade, the Federal Republic of Germany considers nuclear power to be an environmentally friendly, safe and economical way to meet its energy needs. But starting in 1975, public protest arises. With Baden winegrowers making a start, more and more people demonstrate against the construction of new atomic reactors. Along the lines of “Better active today than radioactive tomorrow“, they take a stand against a technology that man cannot ultimately control. Barbed wire and truncheons cannot stop the environmentalists. They keep occupying building sites and take legal action. The Chernobyl reactor disaster in 1986 intensified the discussion about phasing out nuclear energy. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
