Die Sekretäre

0.0 90 mins Documentary   1999
Pro Vobis - Gesellschaft für Film und Fernsehen   MDR  
Director(s): Jan Lorenzen Christian Klemke

The film talks about the rise and fall of the two most influential protagonists in GDR-politics. In succession, over long stretches even together, Ulbricht and Honecker determined the course of the GDR, of course without ever getting out of being a satellite state to the big brother in Moscow. The film looks for the caesura and crucial points in the power game between Ulbricht and Honecker.
