Documentary about the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Subjects include: people leaving East Germany for West Germany; why some East Germans decide to stay; the desire by people for political reform in East Germany; religion in the GDR; the political movement called Neues Forum, a movement for political reform; the relationship with West Germany; East German writers getting published in West Germany; the lives of East Germans when they go to West Germany; the sadness of East Germany family members who have been left behind; the change brought about because the Russians are no longer backing East Germany’s rulers; and more about the reform movement. Elizabeth Gray interviews various residents of East Germany, including a woman who works as a clown; a molecular biologist; pastor Werner Kratschell; a translator; Neues Forum founder Jens Reich; novelist Stefan Heym; Otto Reinholdt, the Communist Party’s chief spokesperson for idealogy (he is speaking in German with simultaneous English translation); Louisa Schramm, a single mother who supports political reform and Uwe, a taxi driver in East Berlin. <29mn 29s>
