After the brutal use of police and security forces in Berlin on October 7th and 8th, 1989 , the population also revolted in the capital. This documentary by several directors and cameramen of the DEFA studio for documentary films tries to give an impression of the time up to November 4th, 1989. The film only lets the recordings speak for themselves, without any comment, which can be seen in the following order:
