Farewell, Beautiful Forest… or How a Film Was Censored

A documentary available to watch on Kanopy

Director: Günter Lippmann 

Step back in time with a powerful testimony that reveals not only the scars of environmental destruction but also the silencing of truth under authoritarian rule. This documentary takes us to 1987, when filmmaker Günter Lippmann captured the ecological disaster ravaging the Ore Mountains, only to see his work silenced by the authorities. Decades later, the film returns, enriched with stories about its censorship, becoming a haunting record of a damaged landscape and a stark reminder of how easily truth can be erased.
