One Germany: The Other Side Of The Wall (2014x20)

:

After twenty years of reunification, is Germany still divided? After reunification, life went on in the West virtually unchanged. But for those in the East, life as they knew it ceased to exist. People read their Stasi files and learned that best friends and spouses had betrayed them. Friendships were destroyed. Many lost their jobs and with their jobs, their identity. Despite all of the negatives associated with the cruel regime of the former East Germany, many are experiencing a strange nostalgia for the old times.
