La chute du mur de Berlin

On November 9, 1989, around 9:00 p.m., after a confused announcement by the government, thousands of Germans crowd around the wall that has divided the country for 28 years. Very quickly, the soldiers gave in under the pressure of the crowd and a first passage was opened. In joy, people cross the border and tear off pieces of this 'wall of shame' with their bare hands. A look back at the origins and consequences of this historic event, symbolizing the fall of the Soviet empire and the end of a bipolar world.
