The Wall

This DEFA documentary highlights the Berlin Wall, its last days, and its highly anticipated destruction. Banal and historical moments are captured and presented without verbal commentary. On the broken-down Wall, memorable motion-picture footage was projected - from Emperor Wilhelm's ride through the Brandenburg Gate, the torch-lit procession of the Nazis, the well-known filming of an East German soldier jumping over barbed wire into the West as the Wall was being built, to the fall of the Wall.
