Negative Positive
Title: Interesting but a bit somber
Review: I showed this documentary to my German class and they appeared to like it for the most part. It's a story that isn't often told. The events in Berlin surrounding the wall seem to get all the press, but there was also a very long, fortified border running between East and West Germany. This documentary visits a number of the remaining artifacts of the border and does a good job of telling stories about the conditions and procedures along the way. The only two potentially negative aspects of the film are that 1) It has depressing music that keeps repeating and 2) The German is fairly difficult for beginning students. However, if you are interested in this period or German history, this is a good documentary.
