The stories of four – out of approximately 250,000 – former political prisoners in East Germany. Back then, they couldn't keep silent; but now, 20 years after the fall of the Wall, it is still difficult to answer the questions of their children and friends, and come to terms with a very personal and painful past.
This moving documentary features four former political prisoners in East Germany – people who were imprisoned for reading banned books, writing poetry and leading alternative lifestyles. Exceptional bonus features, specially designed for educators, include a secret police training film and their files on one of the political prisoners (translated into English).
