Kuhle Wampe or Who Owns the World?

Set in early-1930s Berlin, the film opens with newspaper headlines charting steadily rising unemployment. A young man searches for work while his family discusses unpaid back rent. Despairing, he removes his wristwatch and jumps from a window. Soon after, the family is evicted and, now homeless, moves into a garden colony named Kuhle Wampe.
