WAS TUN
Germany 2020 – Director: Michael Kranz – Original language: Bengali, German – Subtitles: English, German – Length: 72 min.
Faced with a documentary film that included an interview with a young girl forced into prostitution, Michael Kranz asked himself the apparently banal question of “what can be done?” He travelled to Bangladesh and began to search for the girl. A film that is both self-critical and critical of society about the desire to at least do something and not to simply and passively accept the suffering in this world.
