North Philadelphia, PA – Kev, El and Andy are three men united by one struggle: they are trying to defy gravity. As part of the 700,000 prisoners released into society every year, they find themselves faced with a chilling outlook: 67% of ex-offenders re-offend within three years. What explains this invisible force that keeps former inmates in a seemingly unending cycle of incarceration? Filmed on the street over the course of two years, Pull of Gravity is an intimate portrait of these three men that confronts head-on the gritty details of lives cut short by poverty and drugs, where dealing is seen as the only route to economic prosperity, where using offers an escape from powerlessness, and where prison is too often the next stop. The film’s unfiltered lense captures its subjects as they lay bare their stories, fears, and tentative dreams.

Sassnitz ist eine kleine Küstenstadt an der Ostsee auf der Insel Rügen. In der Nähe befinden sich die weltberühmten Kreidefelsen, ein Touristenmagnet. Der Mukran Port ist ebenfalls Teil der Gemeinde. Der Überseehafen ist Ausgangspunkt für den Bau von Nord Stream 2, einer Erdgaspipeline, die Deutschland direkt mit Russland verbindet. Im Jahr 2020 machte die Hafenstadt internationale Schlagzeilen. Sogar die New York Times berichtete und zitierte Bürgermeister Frank Kracht als überzeugten Widersacher aus der nordostdeutschen Provinz gegen das polternde Amerika von Donald Trump. Der Grund ist die unverhüllte Drohung Washingtons, den internationalen Hafen wirtschaftlich zu ruinieren, wenn die Erdgaspipeline von dort aus weiter gebaut wird. Arbeitsplätze sind gefährdet. Der Reporter Klaus Scherer dokumentiert den Fall, befragt Experten sowie Betroffene und untersucht das Verhalten nationaler Politiker gegenüber den USA und wie sie auf die Einmischung in innere Angelegenheiten reagieren.

For decades in Toledo, Ohio, Lott Industries has excelled at manufacturing small car parts. All 1,200 Lott employees have developmental disabilities, yet the company competes with traditional non-disabled businesses and achieves the highest quality ratings. When the US auto industry crisis hits, however, Lott's market is wiped out and president Joan Browne has 12 months to reinvent or close the doors. For the workers, the stakes are even higher since their jobs are a refuge, not only from the impoverishment that affects the majority of America's disabled, but from social isolation. For employees Kevin, Wanda and T.J., work is more than just a direly needed paycheck, it's a lifeline, a symbol of their dignity, and their dreams made real. The race to find a new business plan drives this engrossing recession economy drama, but it's the humanity the film restores to the balance sheet that makes A Whole Lott More such a rare achievement.
