Beyond the Wall

Central Europeans describe life under Communism and offer candid assessments of the transition to freedom, capitalism and democracy in the 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 symbolized the end of the Cold War and spurred on the peaceful revolutions that caused Communism to crumble. Twenty years later, this extraordinary documentary examines the communist era and its legacy, illustrating the endurance of the human spirit in the face of political dogma.
