Sorge 87

About This Movie

Sorge 87 is an intriguing blend of animation and documentary that captures a specific moment in history. It dives into the textile industry boom in Werdau, Germany, during 1987, a time when the GDR was actively recruiting workers from Vietnam. The film weaves the mechanical clatter of sewing machines with personal stories, creating a nostalgic and somewhat melancholic atmosphere. The animation style has a raw, handmade quality that complements the themes of memory and migration. It’s not just about the jobs or the industry, but about the lives entwined with these fabric threads. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the details, and while the director remains unknown, the film carries an authenticity that feels very personal and poignant.
