Storyline
Günther Wallraff assumes the identity of a Turkish man named Ali Sigirlioglu. He opts to disguise himself for his experiment. He alters his appearance by wearing contact lenses and a wig to make himself appear younger, and additionally adopts what he considers to be a stereotypical cartoon accent and affect. Wallraff publishes an ad in a newspaper as Ali Sigirlioglu, stating his willingness to work any job, including hard labor. He takes on various jobs as an unqualified worker, including work as a farmhand, a McDonald's fast food worker, and an emergency response worker in a nuclear power plant. Wallraff concludes his undercover experiment after two years as a result of the physical strain and health problems the various jobs caused him. Written by Ulf Kjell Gür

This outstanding documentation of Guenter Wallraff in the middle of the 80's gentleman-got along, the spectators inspired and frightened. Because "Ganz unten" is a voucher for it, as cruelly one is used in Germany, before-all-hires as a foreigner. Fortunately that changed nowadays. Who saw the film, in any case must read also the book. One of the best documentations at all.
