In this way they make this work a documentation of an important change. Recordings show excerpts from the Monday demonstrations with the well-known calls for a change in the political system in the GDR . The conversations and interviews with the following well-known people from the trade fair city will then be shown:
- Hans-Wilhelm Ebeling , pastor of the St. Thomas Church
