Germany's public image is one of a nation of a nation of prosperous, ebullient people. This program looks beyond that image and finds a modern Germany plagued by the spector of its violent past, and fearful of its future. Topics discussed include the collapse of socialism in the East, the pressures of reunification, ongoing racism, guilt over the Holocaust, and regional and political divisions. A psychologist discusses the German virtues of obedience, discipline, order, perfection, and dedication as having had both positive and negative effects on the culture. The suggestion is made that current economic prosperity may be masking feelings of alienation among the German population. Some English subtitles. A BBC Production.
