Free Movie--'Good Bye, Lenin!'

20^th Anniversary the Fall of the BERLIN WALL

Forty-three kilometers long, the Berlin Wall was built to prevent defectors escaping to the free world via West Berlin. On November 9, 1989, following mounting anti-communist demonstrations, the East German government announced that restrictions on travel to the West were to be lifted. Border guards had no choice but to open the barriers during the ensuing rush towards the Berlin Wall, letting thousands pass through for the first time in nearly three decades. As the gates of the Berlin Wall were flung open, West Germans joined in wild celebrations, their euphoria marking the end of the Cold War amid renewed hope for the reunification of their country.

To celebrate this historic event come and watch "Good Bye, Lenin!,” an award-winning German film about love, family and the reunification of Germany.
