Life Behind The Wall

Image 1 / 3

What was it really like to live in East Germany during the Cold War? Insightful series ‘Life Behind The Wall' seeks to tell the broad history of the German Democratic Republic through the lives and varied perspectives of its people. Combining fascinating interviews with re-enactments that dutifully capture memories of the era, this compelling programme enables viewers to relive an experience shared by many Eastern European countries. As well as this, new sources of previously unreleased footage, including amateur films, photographs and documents explore a more private view of East Germany beyond the all-too-often used propaganda films, and offer a fresh new look at 40 years of life under socialism.
