FOR THE MANY paints a picture of the diversity of our society. In direct cinema style, it gives a face to the people whose individual stories are hidden behind abstract terms such as crisis, recession and labour market upheavals. The concept of the welfare state is rendered visible here, just as the picture of a society emerges where social discrimination is commonplace. When preparations to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the chamber’s founding collide with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the internal organisation of crisis mode takes centre stage – and new challenges for the world of work become apparent. The idea must be kept alive, #forever. For more information please visit the film page.
