An enemy of the people

How does society function in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable? What if criticism is no longer possible in a democracy? Do politics and truth go together? And what happens when two protagonists pursue their path without compromise? The doctor Dr. Stockmann discovers that the spa's healing water is contaminated. While he wants to inform the public, the town council tries to cover up the fact.

published in 1882, An Enemy of the People shows how irreconcilable economic interests and moral obligations are. Director Mona Kraushaar explores the question of the conflict between the absolute claim to truth and the willingness to compromise and devotes herself with great interest to a topic of current social explosiveness.
