The Price of Poverty wins!
The Price of Poverty – Living Through Inflation
a film by Stefan Wolner & Sandra Rak
A second prize—for a topic that rarely gets space. The Price of Poverty listens where others look away. It tells stories from the margins, from lives shaped by inflation, precarity, and quiet endurance.
The jury of the Journalismuspreis „von unten“—made up of people with lived experience of poverty—awarded the film second place. A recognition that carries particular weight, because it comes from those who know exactly what is at stake.
Presented by the Armutskonferenz, the prize honors journalism that resists simplification and treats lived realities with respect. We’re grateful—not just for the award, but for the shared insistence on visibility, dignity, and attention.
