Zeitprobleme: wie der Arbeiter wohnt (Short 1930) ⭐ 6.4 | Documentary, Short

This documentary shows, along 11:50 minutes running time, how the Berliner workers lived in 1930. The director Slatan Dudow shows through images: a) the workers leaving the factory; b) the raise of the rents; c) the "unpleasant" guest, meaning the justice officer that brings the eviction notice; d) the fight of classes of the houses of capitalists and working classes; e) the parks of the working class; f) the houses of the working class, origin of the tuberculosis and the victims; g) the playground of the working class; h) the swimming pool for the working class, ironically called the "Baltic Sea" of the working class; i) the effects of humidity of basement where a family lives, with one member deaf; j) one working class family having dinner while the capitalist baths his dog; k) the eviction notice received from an unemployed family and their eviction.

Watching this documentary and assuming that a great number of the capitalists are Jews, it is possible to understand why the lunatic Hitler climbed to the power and committed such atrocities against a people.

It is sad and shameful but in Brazil, in 2010, a great part of the working class still lives in slums much more insalubrious than the German workers in 1930. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Como Vive o Trabalhador Berlinense" ("How the Berliner Worker Lives")
