In the West German province, temporary workers from Eastern Europe are fighting for survival in the country’s largest pig slaughterhouse. Activists who stand up for the workers’ rights are fighting with the authorities. At the same time, Munich grammar school pupils are rehearsing Bertolt Brecht’s play Die Heilige Johanna der Schlachthöfe and discuss German economic structures. REGELN AM BAND, BEI HOHER GESCHWINDIGKEIT, a film with remarkable topicality, was awarded the Max Ophüls Prize for the best documentary film in Saarbrücken this year and highlights facets of labour migration, temporary work and globalisation.
