- Synopsis:
Join us for a riveting hour as we reveal the brutal life and catastrophic death of the Berlin Wall, the central symbol of the 20th century's longest war. This programme mines formerly guarded vaults and archives to reveal untold stories. We begin with the history of the conflict and technology that built it, but quickly move to the escapes and true-life espionage tales that swirled around it. We learn about a blunder that ended the Cold War and the ultimate demise of the USSR. All the detail and drama is presented in a non-stop, fast-moving montage, cut to a rock and roll beat. In addition to insider reports and rare footage, we present exclusive interviews with major players, including Mikhail Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush. - Actors:
