Mein Sommer '88 - Wie die Stars die DDR rockten

Superstar concerts in East Berlin? A year before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was an almost unthinkable scenario for many East German rock and pop fans. But suddenly, within just a few months, the top stars were all over the place.

Directed by Carsten Fiebeler, Daniel Remsperger, Mein Sommer '88 - Wie die Stars die DDR rockten leans on a strong ensemble — Joe Cocker, Helene Luise Doppler, Katharina Franck — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2013.
