PROLETARISCHES KINO: PROGRAMM 16 - FRITZ ROSENFELD 5

Two directors, German Piel Jutzi and American Charlie Chaplin, deal with the same topic: Hunger in Waldenburg tells the story of poor coal miners in an industrial region in 1929. Charlie Chaplin takes care for an abandoned child in The Kid, but events put that relationship in jeopardy. The Kid was Chaplin's first full-length film.
