Berlin Check Point Charlie: "We did try...and now he is free" 

92 | Berlin, Germany 

A story from Alexandra Hildebrandt, the wife to the late Dr. Rainer Hildebrand, who was the founder of the Mauer Museum aka. Check Point Charlie of which she is now the chairperson and  director. She believes, "freedom isn't from heaven, for freedom you must struggle," and sharing how the people from Berlin and from other oppressed parts of the world have fought for their freedom is her task now. Her late husband taught her everything she knows and she sees him in their eldest son, "we try to do what he did, as we imagine he would have liked it."

"What do I have to believe in"

90 | Berlin, Germany

A story from Gabriel, told from inside the Mauer Museum aka. Check Point Charlie. He shares some of the incredible stories he was mesmerised by, "this guy spent his entire life figuring out how to smuggle people over the border," and explains why he's frustrated that these tragedies are still happening today, that they are, "still going on and nobody's doing anything about it." It leaves him wishing he, "was a part of something bigger."
