Part 3 of Peter Rocha's Lusatia Trilogy: From fall 1989 to spring 1990, the film crew documented the advancing destruction of the Lusatia region. Aerial photos show the scale of the devastation that the Sorbian writer Jurij Koch describes as an “act of ethnocide.” Artists and activists, including landscape architect Otto Rindt and the excavator operator and singer-songwriter Gerhard Gundermann, an East German music icon, try to fight for the preservation of nature with their own means and openly share their concerns in front of the camera.
