Mama General

A documentary case study that follows a family through twenty years on the verge of poverty - in one of the planet’s most prosperous countries. Three generations revolve around the head of the clan, Mother Bronnmann. The film does not claim for pity or sympathy, but it documents what might be found behind faceless statistics on increasing poverty: A mother and her family that gets by with power, solidarity and dignity; with a good sense of humor and a lot of hope.
