In the RTL2 social report, we follow people and families from all over Germany who are living on the poverty line. We ask the question: ‘Is it worth working in Germany?’. In 90 minutes each, our protagonists show very different attitudes to life: some work hard - others prefer to live at the expense of the social state.
