Made in West | East Germany: Divided Germany
Presented by Goethe-Institut Boston at Goethe-Institut Boston September 16, 2010 Script writers and directors from West and East Germany, although divided after World War II, were inspired by similar subjects: the war and the division of their country and its former capital, Berlin.
