The Forgotten Treasure
Tom Ehrhardt
A Brazilian diplomat named Chagas Freitas realizes that he has almost unconsciously assembled a collection of Cold War-era East German art. Concerned about the treatment of culture in Brazil and feeling responsible for this important piece of art history of more than 1500 works, he decides to bring them back to Germany. Brilliantly directed by Tom Ehrhardt, this documentary tells the story of artists who fought to be able to work freely in a period when art was dominated by Socialist Realism and was strictly controlled by the East German regime.
