The aim was to photographically document the dramatic ecological state of the country. From 1972, around one hundred photographers travelled the United States. Their photographs show the society of the time and its living conditions as a disturbing mosaic. Tens of thousands of pictures were taken at the time, but they were forgotten. Now we revisit the project with some of the photographers involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-62aae154\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flex wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>09.11.25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>1:00 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons green-button is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.cinetixx.de\/frontend\/#\/show\/1873179376\/3323910519\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;background-color:#009b58\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tickets<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure style=\"aspect-ratio:2\/3; padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);\" class=\"poster-films-grid wp-block-post-featured-image wp-container-content-c2ee311c\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/greenmotions-filmfestival.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DOCUMERICA.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenmotions-filmfestival.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DOCUMERICA.jpg 667w, https:\/\/greenmotions-filmfestival.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DOCUMERICA-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer medium-mobile\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/greenmotions-filmfestival.de\/films\">Back to the films<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/greenmotions-filmfestival.de\/festival-programme\">Back to the festival programme<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director: Pierre-Fran\u00e7ois Didek Duration: 58 min Language: English Subtitles: German Landscapes disfigured by industry, nature disfigured by mountains of rubbish and scrap cars: \u2018Documerica\u2019 paints an unsparing picture of the USA. \u2018Documerica\u2019 is the name of a photography programme run by the US Environmental Protection Agency in the 1970s.
