Fall of the Berlin Wall Campus Weeks 2014 - Film Series Presents: The Lives of Others

Join us for a University-wide commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A thriller, a love story, and a fairy tale about the GDR and the surveillance by the Stasi, East Germany’s secret police. What is the role of literature and art in such a system? Do lovers have a chance within a regime of spying and betrayal?
