Interview with Günter Wallraff - Borlänge seminar

Günter Wallraff visited Borlänge and Falun on 13 May, 2011. He is a legendary journalist known throughout much of the world. His method of journalism has resulted in a verb, in Swedish "att wallraffa", in English "to wallraff"*. He wants to expose injustice, and much of his work has dealt with the situation of immigrants in society. The title of his latest - and most famous - film is Schwarz auf Weiß ("Black on White"). Using his undercover method, he tries to portray situations which Somalis and other blacks may experience in Germany.

The film is actually part of the book Aus der schönen neuen Welt ("Report from the Brave New World"). Günter Wallraff's seminars in Borlänge and Falun included interviews and discussions about his methods, work and, most of all, integration. Much of it based on his film Schwarz auf Weiß ("Black on White"), which was awarded the Gold World Medal at the New York Festival in 2011.

Economic Slavery

This world is in reality a global enslavement machine that programs people to THINK that they are free in order for them to cope with their servitude, and conditions people to WANT it as well. The truth is, we are all slaves to the economic system and programmed with illusions that help us bear our enslavement.
