Actor Andrew Sachs was born in Berlin. Returning there with his wife Melody, he discovers for himself how the 99-mile-long wall that encircles West Berlin has affected the city's landscape and its people. In East Berlin, he meets two actors: Wolf Kaiser, who worked with Bertolt Brecht, and Gerry Wolff, who spent the war in England as a member of the British Home Guard. The trip also gives Sachs the opportunity to visit family members and hear how they view the future of the Berlin Wall. (1988) Show less
