518    Originally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1965. 
520    In September 1963, the Socialist Unity Party of Germany 
       (SED), the ruling party of the German Democratic Republic,
       published its "Youth Communiqué." This document mandated 
       that young people should no longer be passive recipients 
       of education, but should be cultivated as independently 
       thinking and acting individuals. Thus the concept "Leaders
       of Tomorrow" emerged. At the same time, DEFA introduced a 
       series of feature films that portrayed the everyday lives 
       of young people. This group of films included Just Don't 
       Think I'll Cry, the story of an 18 year-old high school 
       senior's conflict with society. Despite his being thrown 
       out of school for writing a provocative essay, he 
       continues to oppose the lethargy and hypocrisy he sees 
       around him. He wants to remain true to himself no matter 
       what the cost. In March 1965 a test screening of the film 
       was held. The reviewers, mostly state officials, condemned
       the film as "rubbish." Undermined and insecure, DEFA began
       re-editing the film. But by December 1965, the fate of the
       film was decided: The Central Committee labeled it, as 
       well as Kurt Maetzig's The Rabbit is Me, as anti-socialist
       and banned them. In all, eleven films were banned in the 
       following months - almost the entire year's production! 
       Finally, these films reached the public in January 1990 
       after the fall of the Wall, when they were belatedly 
       acclaimed as masterpieces of critical realism.
