The Dresden district of Prohlis is the subject of a new ZDF report that focuses on a neighborhood often described as a hotspot. According to the broadcaster, the film by Steven Melzer shows people "who are otherwise rarely heard".
Around 17,000 people live in Prohlis, many in prefabricated GDR buildings. The district was once considered a showcase project, but today it is characterized by unemployment, social exclusion and the pressure to modernize. The reportage introduces residents who remain in the district despite difficult conditions and help to shape it.
The program from the "ZDF.reportage" series can be seen on ZDF on Saturday (22 November) at 5.35 pm.
