A 2006 German documentary film directed by Pamela Meyer-Arndt about three East German female photographers Sibylle Bergemann, Gundula Schulz Eldowy, and Helga Paris. The women talk about their experiences making art in the East, and what it was like to work during time when every photographer working on their own in the GDR had entire photographic works and book projects hidden away in drawers, certain that they would probably never be shown publicly.
