Berlin im Kalten Krieg (1993)

Overview

This film shows divided Berlin in the 1950s and documents the period of the Cold War: with images of the most important politicians, previously unpublished footage of the demolition of the Berlin Palace and the construction of the Wall and dramatic scenes of the uprising in June 1953. The film also provides impressions of art and culture, everyday life and sport in a city with two political systems, whose division was sealed by the construction of the Wall in 1961 until its fall in 1989.
