Sweep It Up, Again.
Ten years have passed since director Gerd Kroske met the three Leipzig street sweepers in 1996. Their social decline is even more visible due to alcoholism and unemployment. While one of them has died, the others just live their lives. Kroske shows his protagonists with dignity and emphasizes their struggle against neglect and the loneliness inscribed in their faces. Critics called the documentary “an intense and bitter film about social coldness and lack of opportunity.” Part 3 of the long observation project known as the Sweep It Up trilogy.
