The images of the assault of a young woman campaigner at one of the 38 archaelogical sites on the route of the Proposed M3 by members of a private company; and the criminalisation of those campaigners who have given time and energy to forwarding awareness of the ecological and heritage implications of the bi-section of the Gabhra Valley necessitates inquiry.

Stasi agent Wiesler a loyal servant of the party and the state believes writer Georg Dreyman to be not so loyal, a crime in the stasi agents eyes. Wiesler gets his chance to nail the writer when the corrupt and seedy Minister Of Culture decides he wants Dreyman to be found guilty of anything. The politicians motives have nothing to do with love of party or state. ... read full story / add a comment
