November 9, 1989 is one of the most crucial days in German history – on this day, the world watched in amazement as jubilant crowds gathered on both sides of the Berlin Wall to celebrate the totally unexpected opening of the border crossings between the Eastern and Western parts of the city. A peaceful revolution in East Germany had finally cracked this grim symbol of Cold War and political oppression.
25 years have passed since then. The Goethe Institut Mumbai is commemorating the milestone in Germany’s history with the screenings of six German films starting today, Sunday, November 9 to November 12, 2014. The films are documentaries and feature films. See the schedule as under:
