Karl Marx City
Karl Marx City is a personal documentary, made about co-director Petra Epperlein’s hometown. Karl-Marx-Stadt, located in a Berlin-Wall-still-very-much-structurally-intact East Germany, was designed to be a showcase of communist ideals. Instead, it was a terrifying police-state of constant surveillance and invasions of privacy. Epperlein even interviews her family members to try and understand why this happened.
