...als Diesel geboren (1979)

6.0/10 122 min Documentary

Overview

In 1978, Peter Przygodda, editor of Wim Wenders‘ films, Reinhard Hauff and Hans W. Geissendörfer, together with his Brazilian colleague Braulio Tavares Neto and Martin Schäfer at the camera, filmed the long-distance truck drivers on their journeys with heavy goods vehicles and thus obtained first-hand information. In the course of the trucker film wave ('Convoy') of the late 70s, his film was released in cinemas. Trucker life appears as a social phenomenon far removed from the romance and hero myths surrounding the adventure of the highway.
