The Wall

It was once the vision of a perfect border - modern, invisible and without victims. High-tech instead of firearms, security fences and concrete. Its inventors called it "Wall 2000". But this vision was never a reality. With this futuristic scenario, the dramatized documentary by Christoph Weinert and Jurgen Ast begins. The 13th of August 2011 marked the 50th anniversary of the division of Berlin and with it the division of Germany and Europe that was cemented for more than two and a half decades. The story of the Berlin Wall and the Inner German border is told from a new perspective: From the perspective of those who planned, built and guarded the wall.
