Pride & Attitude

About This Movie

Pride & Attitude, directed by Gerd Kroske, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women from a vanished country—East Germany. The film is shot on low-band U-matic tape, which gives it this gritty, raw texture that feels so authentic. The pacing is reflective, allowing the audience to really soak in the stories of these female industry workers. They speak with such courage and confidence about their struggles and triumphs in gaining autonomy. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a preservation of voices that might have been lost. Kroske’s approach, capturing the essence of their resilience, really stands out. You can almost feel the atmosphere of the era seeping through the footage.
