German unemployment an inspiration

BERLIN, Dec. 10 (UPI) --

The highest unemployment in Germany in 70 years is giving playwrights and scriptwriters a lot of inspiration for movies and plays.

Borggrefe, who became unemployed five days before his wedding, used unemployed actors who worked free in his film.
