Busting The Berlin Wall

25 years after the fall of the wall, daredevil escape stories and amazing CGI dramatize the dangerous risks people took to 'bust' through the Berlin Wall to escape East Germany. For 28 years until its collapse on Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was the epicentre of the Cold War, splitting Berlin in two and dividing a nation with two million tons of concrete, 700,000 tons of steel, attack dogs, tank traps, death strips and tripwires. From the very first day it went up, anyone who tried to escape risked betrayal, prison, or death.
