The Sudden Wealth of the Poor People of Kombach Poster

The Sudden Wealth of the Poor People of Kombach (1971)

An intriguing Hans Christian Andersen-style fairy tale aesthetic and voice-over narration. Sudden Wealth is a despairing chronicle of a group of starving peasants who finally seize governmental wealth like a dysfunctional group of Robin Hood's Merry Men, only to be betrayed by their inescapable selves and systematically dehumanized (think bucolic Orwell) and reprogrammed by what we'll put under the rubric of God and Country.
