    GDR insght
    Chance to go behind the Berlin wall with a female director who skilfully tackles themes that aren't supposed to exist in the socialist state. It's a film that tackles social issues while crafting change in the lead actors relationship to her surroundings, I enjoyed this film because it is real but also has a dramatic narrative.
