Inspired by the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9th, 2009, "Behind the Wall" tells the stories of ordinary people living on both sides of the Wall and what life was like for them before, during and after the Wall fell. All politics being local, who else but the people who experienced it could tell us what it was really like living there? Behind the Wall will explode some myths and give a special, intimate, personal view of life in Berlin during those crucial historic years. Includes bonus disc with 46 minutes of extra footage.
