Auf 8 Hufen durchs Ruhrgebiet – On eight hooves through the Ruhr region (2006 / WDR / 2 Folgen á 45 Min.)

From Dortmund to Dormagen one can travel by car in a good hour. But Rebecca and Juliana are underway for several days, as they are covering the distance on the backs of their horses. They are traversing North Rhine-Westphalia in the manner that was the rule a long time ago. But is this still possible? Can one really cross the industrial area of North Rhine-Westphalia, with its motorways and gigantic urban zones, by horseback? The films show surprising pictures and impressions from areas everyone believes they know, and guides us to people who are living away from the usual traffic routes.
