You really don’t hear a lot about how Western culture, and particularly music, contributed to the fall of the Iron Curtain. A lot of people today don’t even remember (or weren’t alive) during the cold war. This documentary is highly recommended for just about everyone. It is a well made video that really outlines the impact of rock music in the coming civil revolution that would be destined to bring down the Berlin wall. Not only are the stories fascinating, but the music and video clips included here are great, too. This one of the best music documentaries I’ve seen in a while.
