people what the peaceful revolution was really. what is a movie going on how come. the. historically accurate and rich with period detail pretty is a moving story about the ordinary people whose courage changed the world. of the movie for his fear with his now do you think this is just for small children . no i think it's i mean it's definitely targeting small kids particularly actually this generation of children here in germany who've grown up in the united germany and really for them the fall the wall is probably as distant as the middle ages i mean it's so far in the past for for these kids but this film i think is really compelling about is that it tells the story the monday monday demonstrations of the of the peaceful revolution but does so in

a way that even very very small children can understand it but it's so loving in its in its details i mean the directors one was from west germany one grew up in the east think all the details right i mean i was talking to some east german friends and they were amazed that every single detail the way that we the people looked the clothing the way the hair despairs even the television sets or everything it's always it's exactly right so it does give an amazing picture of the world back then surely germans do know their own history well i think you'd be surprised i mean the writer of the book this film is based on was inspired to write it because she was amazed at how little germans double their own history especially young young germans i mean there are surveys that show that many young germans don't even know that their country was divided and some even think that if it was divided it wasn't divided east to west but north to south korea and as one of the directors pointed out there's also not even just young germans but the this is

a far growing far right. political force in germany that are misusing that history taking the same slogans that were peaceful slogans of we are the people and using them for their own messages of anti immigration or races races messages and i think any of those people should take a look at a movie like this ok is it something for non germans as well yeah i think so i mean as i say it's for very young young children but the. details of this film the historical details of this film are really a lesson for anyone to give an idea of what the world look like in east germany that i know what i will like is how balance it is i mean for it is family in this are not activists against the regime like so many east germans at the time are sort of keeping their heads down and hoping things pass over and only when they see there is no other way that they do they start to go into the streets and protest and start a revolution to really change the world ok scott thank you very much hopefully also an uplifting film bearing monologue of german history is the thank you. now it's
