The Wall poster

Released in 1962, The Wall is a dokumentarfilm film directed by Walter de Hoog, running about 9 minutes.

What it’s about. Like the best USIA films, The Wall distills political events into an emotionally clear and compelling ideological "story". In 1962 Walter de Hoog gathered footage from U.S. and German newsreel sources and crafted this taut short film about the first year of the Berlin Wall. Straightforward, keenly balanced narration portrays Berliners as "accepting the wall but never resigned to it". The extraordinary footage of the first escapes was propaganda enough-- His challenge was to make the politics human.

Who’s in it. The Wall stars Peter Fechter as Himself (archive footage) and Alexander Scourby as Narrator (uncredited).

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, The Wall has been warmly received by audiences.
