With early parliamentary elections looming after the collapse of Germany's governing coalition, DW reporters Oxana Evdokimova and Carolina Machhaus travel the country to find out what worries voters most and who is doing something about it. In Munich, food bank founder Hannelore Kiethe describes demand that has kept rising since she started the operation, as food prices have climbed roughly a third since 2020. Christa Lippmann shows off the housing project she built for single women in a city where apartments are scarce and expensive, while Till Amelung is still searching for a place to live. Doctor Christoph Lohmann makes his rounds treating patients who can't easily get care elsewhere. In Syria-to-Germany story, Abdullah Alyaqub, who fled Syria a decade ago, trains to become a railway driver through a program Dietmar Kibbel runs to address the country's shortage of skilled workers. The film moves between these personal stories and the larger anxieties, over migration, prices, and Germany's economic direction, that voters are bringing to the ballot box.
