Sun Seekers (Sonnensucher)Banned at Soviet insistence, Konrad Wolf's film about two women sent to work at a uranium mining company was finally released in 1972 and impresses even today with its political complexity, variety of characters and realistic portrayal of daily work in a forbidden zone of the industrial landscape.
Releasing this film was one of the director's first priorities when a new regime took power in the GDR in 1972, and in 1989 the film was revived along with the banned films of 1965.
