Günter Wallraff: Lowest of the Low
He had been in hiding for two years, had assumed a new identity as Ali Levent Sinirloglu, and even in his dreams only spoke broken German. He tried working as a farmhand on a farm, at McDonalds, on building sites and finally as a temporary worker, accepting every job that was offered to him as a Turk. What he experienced is shocking and almost unbelievable. But Wallraff learned from the reactions to his previous work and had the incomprehensible recorded with a video camera, which his friend and director Jörg Gfrörer - accompanying him as a Greek temporary worker - almost always carried hidden in his work bag. This black-and-white footage was supplemented by the recordings of our video team, which occasionally accompanied Wallraff during the two years where it was not noticeable. In the end, one hundred and six minutes of film were edited from around one hundred hours of video material.
