From an official perspective, marginal youth culture did not exist in East Germany. The topic of subcultures was taboo in the GDR, and groups such as goths, skinheads, anti-skins, punks and neo-Nazis were dismissed as social deviations promoted by western countries. Director Roland Steiner had access to such young East Germans in the late 1980s. Over the course of four years, he brought them before the camera in an attempt to understand what drew them to these groups.
Released in 1989, Our Children is a documentary film from DEFA-Studio für Dokumentarfilme (East Germany). It was directed by Roland Steiner and written by Roland Steiner and Annerose Richter. The cast is led by Roland Steiner, Christa Wolf and Stefan Heym. With a runtime of 1h 28m, the film averages 9.5/10 across 2 TMDB ratings.
