SECTION: What remains of history

Good Bye, Lenin! meets strike protests in the Gdansk shipyards. What is left of the uprisings against the communist dictatorships in the GDR, Poland and Hungary? From intimate portraits of their own family histories to unheralded heroines, these films ask: How is history reinterpreted, and why? Highly relevant in the face of resurgent totalitarian structures in Eastern Europe.The film series is sponsored by the Bundesstiftung für Aufarbeitung (Federal Foundation for Reappraisal).
