They are among us, but hardly anyone knows them - people affected by poverty in Switzerland. According to statistics, 745,000 live below the subsistence level. Who are the people behind this number? In this film, despite their shame, they tell their life stories. _____________________________________________ ???? Subscribe to SRF Dok now on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/srfdok?sub_co... ????

People who often don't know whether there will be anything to eat on the table because they don't have enough money. People who cannot afford a train ticket - not to mention going to the cinema or a restaurant. Poverty is steadily increasing in Switzerland. Those affected remain silent because they are ashamed. Not in this film. Here they tell their stories, unvarnished and without taboos. «DOK» accompanies them for six months. What are their biggest struggles? What support do they get? And what do they not get? What wishes and goals do they have? They are different people from all over German-speaking Switzerland: from early retirees to a family of four, the homeless, and the paramedic who says: I led a life of luxury. Then I had an accident. _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Roger Brunner and Sascha Britsko ▪ Camera: Tobias Wanner ▪ Editing: Dave D.
