Das Kombinat

Directed by Moritz Springer

Over a period of nine years, this documentary observes the Kartoffelkombinat, a community supported agriculture co-op in Munich, on its way to becoming Germany’s largest agricultural cooperative. The efforts of the organization’s two founders have been in service of a grander vision: finding an alternative to the capitalist mode of production. But the road there is rocky, and suddenly the project is on the verge of failure.
