Documentary Review

 Channel Two (ZDF) of German public TV offers up a documentary-type program called '37 Degrees'.  It's a wide collection of news-stories that are bundled up to tell a story.

So the latest one is called 'Radical, Hated, Desperate'.  

Having viewed it....I'll make this observation.  It's a 28-minute story revolving around young adult Germans, who are members of 'Last Generation' (the environmental group).

From the story told....I'd say they all have put an enormous amount of stress/pressure on their lives....with dedication toward the Last Generation cause.

Consumed to the level of this being a cult-like group?  Well...by the end of the 28 minutes....yeah, I'd say all of them involved in this....have symptoms that you would tie into cults.

What the documentary didn't cover?  Regular Germans viewing the actions of 'Last Generation' and how they aren't buying into the behavior or actions.  

I think the documentary crew went the route of just explaining the cause, and how dedicated these folks are.
