Something to do with
the wall 1990
“A charming group portrait that takes on an
almost fictional narrative flair... Extends far
beyond the limits of ordinary documentary."
—The Boston Globe
A portrait of the Checkpoint Charlie area of the Berlin Wall by two filmmakers who remember growing up with The Wall and The Cold War: a view of Berliners who live near the checkpoint, the American military which controls it, and the tourists who visit it. Filmed in 1986 during the 25th anniversary of the building of The Wall and in 1989, immediately after the opening of The Wall.
