It was lost in the archives for 35 years, but now it has reappeared: Television footage of a debate on the evening of the fall of the Wall in the Französische Friedrichstadtkirche in Berlin. “The churches, the parties and the future of this country” was the title of this discussion – it was the last one about visions of a different GDR before the Wall fell. We are showing the film and inviting you to talk about it.

A co-operation of the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation and the French Church Berlin.
