BlogsBusting the Berlin Wall
For 28 years, the Berlin Wall split a city in two and divided a nationwith two million tons of concrete, 700,000 tons of steel, attack dogs,tank traps, death strips and tripwires. While the perils of the EastGerman border kept most GDR citizens at bay, others yearned to overcomeit by digging under it, hiding in car trunks, flying over it in ahot-air balloon, and even surfing around it.
The triumph and tragedy of those who risked it all to cross the wall.
From simple barbed-wire fence to a sevenfold super-structure, the Wall grew over the years, becoming increasingly forbidding, perilous and challenging to some of the GDR’s more adventurous citizens. This film rebuilds the Wall with CGI and reenacts the most daring escapes. Interviews with ex-border guards, spies, politicians, escapees and the engineers of the fiendish barrier are interspersed with archival footage, home movies and propaganda films to provide the gripping factual underpinnings of this program.
