The Berlin Wall was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. It was built by the German Democratic Republic to prevent people fleeing from Soviet East Berlin to the West. In the capital of Germany one can still feel the presence of the wall that has fallen over thirty years ago. Walking through the two contrasting parts of Berlin you meet dissimilar people, architecture and shops. The soviet apartment complexes on the East side, the apartment complexes built by such architects as Werner Düttmann and Walter Gropius on the West side. Vietnamese restaurants and markets in the East, Baklava and Döner shops in the West. Bright yellow street lights filling the sky with warm colour in East Berlin, cold blue lights in West Berlin. The division is clear even when crossing the streets, as the guiding traffic lights are so unite in the Eastern part. This is all shown in the documentary EastWest. It shares stories of Berliners that have lived in both parts of the city.  They get to share their experiences and opinions on life in Berlin during and after the wall. They let you in on their emotions during the fall of the Wall which happened as instantaneously as its construction. This is not a historical documentary, but a memoir of the city of Berlin.
