Give Them Hope

Overview

A survey of the situation in postwar Germany, produced to raise funds in the US. The film is clearly structured: The first part demonstrates the severe damage of German cities, carefully weaving in christian motifs like graves and churches. The second part highlights the efforts of Germans to reconstruct their cities despite scarce living conditions. A third part emphasizes the suffering of innocent children. The film closes with the unpacking of a CARE package, demonstrating the immediate effect of American help for Germany.
