Liesl Frankl is known for her video documentation about flight, exile and asylum from the period between the two world wars.
Frankl has been working as a journalist since 1969 as the creator of TV, film, and video productions. Bruno Kreisky himself was exiled from Austria, after five months imprisonment by the Gestapo. The Flüchtlingsalltag is meant to analyze and compare the situation during and after the Anschluss. Terms such as escape, exile, asylum, home, and homecoming are critically as well as historically analyzed. The motto for the documentary is a quote from Bruno Kreisky:
"Anyone who spends nearly five years draining the bitter cup of political harassment to the bitter dregs will be overwhelmed when they finally step onto the soil of a free country that recognizes their worth as a human being. Having experienced this even once, they will never lose their sense of freedom for the rest of their lives."
