Sorge 87 
is a multimedia
project that explores the migration history of Vietnamese contract workers who came to the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in 1987.

At its center is an animated documentary that combines personal recollections with delicate textile-inspired imagery, reflecting the textile factories where many Vietnamese workers were employed. Through stories of arrival, work, friendship, cultural misunderstandings, and belonging, Sorge 87 offers an intimate perspective on life in East Germany shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
