GOLD RUSH: THE HISTORY OF TRUST

This documentary tells the story of the Treuhandanstalt – the most expensive experiment and the greatest white-collar-crime since Worldwar II. It’s a film about greed as the driving force of economic development.

From cinematographer turned director Thomas Plenert, this documentary comprehensively approaches the controversial (and perhaps not widely known) history of the Treuhandanstalt: an agency established to privatize East German industry. A well-crafted, investigative and informative nonfiction film.
