DIE HELFER UND
DIE FRAUEN / THE PEACEKEEPERS AND THE WOMEN
GERMANY 2003
DIRECTOR: Karin Jurschick, 80 MIN
„Trafficking“ of persons has increased dramatically in recent
years, especially in South Eastern Europe. The forcible abduction of women
and girls or their recruitment under false pretences in order to then
force them into prostitution, has become a shadow economy in Bosnia-Herzegovina
and especially in Kosovo. This is one of the results of the wars being
fought in the area – with the help of Nato – and the presence
of international troops and relief organisations. Karin Jurschick, who
had her first big success with the documentary IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICE
AFTER THAT in 2001, exposes the correlations and structures of Trafficking,
without resorting to conventional means of investigative journalism. Honoured
with the Grimme Award 2004.
