Spotlight: The 30th Anniversary of German Unity Day

In recognition of the 30th anniversary of German Unity Day, we offer these films about life in Germany before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Some are about national identity, others are about political division, and all are about Vergangenheitbewältigung -- or the process of reckoning with the past.
