The Children from Jordbro

In this second documentary in the Jordbro suite, we follow the children from childhood into puberty. They have to start thinking about their future life; work or study in high school?

In this third documentary in the Jordbro suite, six years have passed since the end of ninth grade for the children. They're on their way into adult life, most of them have started working, and some of the girls have kids of their own now.

In this fourth documentary in the Jordbro suite, we follow Mona's journey from Jordbro to Sundbyberg; from an eight year old mischievous girl, to a grown-up woman working as manager, with a husband and a kid on the way.

The fifth movie of the kids from a school class in Jordbrovägen which the director has followed for over 24 years allows the now adult children through interviews talking about their lives. This is interspersed with inklipp from their everyday life and work, as well as clips from the previous movies.

The sixth documentary in the Jordbro suite. The "children" are now around 40 years old. Old and new footage together forms a portrait of a whole generation.

Forty years ago, the first film about the Jordbro families was released. The latest one came out in 2006. When Rainer Hartleb once more trains his camera on the families, the children of the Jordbro children have grown up and live far from the area where the Jordbro story began.
