Berlin Wall: Closing The Iron CurtainFebruary 14, 2016

While many saw the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989, few were present at its birth in August 1961. But one Westerner was: Reuters' journalist Adam Kellet-Long, having received a tip off that evening, discovers thousands of men working to seal off West Berlin by dawn. This film follows the events of the night the communists played one of the biggest bluffs of the 20th century.

Berlin Wall: Closing The Iron Curtain was broadcast on SBS ONE at Sunday 13 August 2017, 08:30. This episode was initially placed on Sunday 9 November 2014.
