Synopsis

Individual GDR citizens share the responsibility for improving their own daily lives and the life of the community as a whole, an attitude which has lead to a national community improvement campaign. This documentary uses the example of Mihla, a small town in Thuringia, to demonstrate the changes can be brought about when everyone pitches in. Community initiatives lead to the creation of an outdoor swimming pool, a day care center, a school sports center, a gym, better walking paths and a health clinic.
