Barren / Meddő
Tamás Almási / Hungary / 1995 / 73 min. / video
Stark images of poverty and the economic underclass in Eastern Hungary five
years after the fall of Communism. Unemployment is widespread; poverty,
corruption and crime are on the rise. The police impose the law-and-order
policies by evicting the poor from their homes. The definitions of "guard"
and "criminal" have merged into each other and have lost their
meanings. Children beg in the streets for food; people steal to survive.
The situation is severe, and the hunt for a scapegoat has begun.
