 Generous financial and material aid from the German government for the local agricultural cooperative has, however, for the most part been wasted or misused.In 1995 a film was made entitled "Milch und Honig aus Rotfront" ("Milk and Honey from Rotfront"), depicting the life of the German residents of Bergtal.Today, Bergtal/Rotfront has the second largest community of people of German background in central Asia, although a majority of the population of the village is now of Kyrgyz descent.
