"The Tunnel": Escape from East-Germany

More than 100,000 East-Germans tried to escape across the inner-German border or the Berlin Wall between 1961 and 1988. Join us for the screening of the German drama "The Tunnel" (2001, 160 min). A tension-filled thriller and a riveting history lesson.

East German swimmer Harry Melchior (Heino Ferch) escapes to West Berlin in 1961, but is forced to leave his family behind. When he recruits pals Mathis (Sebastian Koch), Vic (Mehmet Kurtulus) and Fred (Felix Eitner) to help him dig a tunnel under the wall so he can bring his sister, Lotte (Nicolette Krebitz), to freedom, he discovers that countless others are looking for ways to get relatives out of East Berlin. Suddenly, a small tunnel becomes a major engineering undertaking.
