Der Grüne Berg (1991)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

It is unfortunate that this documentary is conducted almost entirely in Swiss German, a dialect that other German speakers need subtitles to understand. It concerns the efforts of a small rural community to prevent a nuclear-waste dump from being located in their region. Despite the fact that these are people whose livelihood is decidedly low-tech, they actively resent the fact that the managers of the big corporation Nagra and local officials attempt to conduct their negotiations about the dump in secret, as if the region's residents could not possibly be savvy enough to be concerned about this threat to their futures. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
