Tunnel of Freedom

OPIS

August 1961: The GDR closes the sector borders in Berlin, the city is divided. A year later, a group of 29 people from the GDR managed to escape through a 135 meter long tunnel to the west. For more than four months, 41 students from West Berlin dug this tunnel. They put their lives on the line - for friends, relatives, lovers and political ideals. They sell the film rights to the US television station NBC .: In 1999 the award-winning documentary "The Tunnel" tells the spectacular story of this escape. Today, over 20 years later, the film has been remake in HD and in Cinescope format. The story and the spectacular NBC material that was recovered from the attic of one of the tunnel builders have lost none of their topicality, explosiveness and uniqueness in the face of global refugee crises, isolation and walls.
