Linien

I will never forget the moment when I heard the evening news on the radio that thursday 9. November 1989 in Hamburg. I was in bed allready when the news speaker announced that the people from the GDR would be allowed to cross borders from now on. For a moment I thought about geting up and telling my parents who were watching TV in the livingroom. But then I thought I must have understood something wrong and slept. One day later my then best friend and I went to Berlin in his car to see things with our own eyes.

We had no close relatives in East Germany but I had certainly visited the GDR several times. the first time to see my biddy´s grandmother when I was in 6. grade and the last time on a class trip during 13. grade. I was more or less aware of the life "over there" but that is not the same thing as living "over there".

Meanwhile I am living in the former GDR what means I am somewhat attached to the people here. So it is probably no surprise how much I love Nina´s documentary project, the history behind it and the way Katrin, Flavius, Martin, Özgür, Sebastian and Jennifer are performing.
