Edgar Reitz: Return to Heimat (1993x16)

Air date: Apr 12, 1993

When Jewish writer Carole Angier watched the original 'Heimat', she was so moved she wrote to its creator; Reitz responded that she had understood his work better than anyone. She later saw the making of his next epic, the 26-hour 'The Second Heimat'. Tonight's programme is a record of Angier's extraordinary experiences witnessing two years of writing and four years of filming.
