The Examination
Die Prüfung (The Examination) (1952) is an East German documentary directed by Andrew Thorndike. Running at approximately 35 minutes, the film focuses on the reconstruction of schools in rural East Germany and the implementation of democratic educational reforms. It highlights the educational experiences of children in towns like Ducherow and Dessau, along with the significance of the "Day of the Teacher" in the GDR. Produced by the DEFA Studio für Wochenschau und Dokumentarfilme, the film underscores the importance of education and the teaching profession in shaping the new socialist state.
