Walled In

I saw this on DW Jour­nal report last night. It is a very inter­est­ing look at how East Ger­many kept in it’s peo­ple dur­ing the Com­mu­nist era.

I have a great inter­est in the his­tory of com­mu­nism because of my trav­els to Hun­gary. My first trip was the sum­mer after the Wall came down. I remem­ber very clearly watch­ing Night­line and see­ing the jubi­la­tion in Berlin when the Wall came down. It was excit­ing to know that I was going to be part of his­tory as I trav­eled to Hun­gary in 1990.

When I was younger, I remem­ber see­ing a movie about a fam­ily that escaped from East Ger­many in a hot air bal­loon. If any­one knows what the title of the movie is, I would appre­ci­ate your comment.

UPDATE: I just Googled it and found out that the name of the movie is Night Cross­ings. I thought it was a Dis­ney movie and I was correct.
