Die Kuh im Dorf lassen

Based on the bestseller by Blaise Hofmann

In the past, wealth in rural areas was measured by the size of the manure pile. Today, farmers comply with ecological regulations and create fertilizer balance sheets to receive direct payments. DIE KUH IM DORF LASSEN (German Title)  raises the question: Are these structures modern and relevant, or do they only serve economic interests? At the center are the personal stories of the farmers. The goal is to foster a dialogue between politics, agribusiness corporations, farmers, and consumers, enabling viewers to form an informed opinion.

Everyone is held up to the mirror: the greedy supermarket chains that shamelessly keep increasing their margins, the false representatives of agriculture in parliament, the farmers cast in the role of victims who often clench their fists in silence instead of speaking their minds.
