Leningrad. Stimmen einer belagerten Stadt

It was one of the great crimes of the Second World War: from 1941 to 1944, a total of 872 days, the siege and starvation of Leningrad by the German Wehrmacht on Hitler's orders lasted. Over a million people fell victim to the blockade, most of them dying of hunger. Countless of these starving people wrote diaries with the last of their strength, and cameramen filmed in the paralyzed city. Evidence from the hell of the siege, many of the film recordings, but above all the written memories on which this documentary on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the liberation is based, remained under lock and key after the war. The voices of those who had suffered through this terrible time should not be heard by anyone, because they did not fit the pathos of the Leningrad heroic song that was officially sung. Most of the recordings come from women. The writers feared neither the enemy nor the Communist Party or Stalin, who often proved incompetent in providing for the population.

The Beginning

In the summer of 1917, Mao Zedong and his fellow student Xiao Zisheng, who were studying at Hunan First Normal University, embarked on a journey of poverty with only pen and ink, without a single word. Over the course of more than a month, they traveled to five places, measured the world with their footsteps, and felt the people with their hearts. In the process of opening up the "wordless book" of society, Mao Zedong gradually realized the location of the "great source" he explored day and night. This journey became an extremely important starting point in his life path.
