By Bruno Savill De Jong — During the Cold War, Berlin was a microcosm of a divided Europe. Nestled within the Communist controlled East Germany, the capital city of Berlin was itself divided up by the Berlin Wall, separated into Western and Eastern sections. This small pocket in the Iron Curtain meant East Berlin was an intensely monitored area by the Stasi, secret police who watched and interrogated its citizens to keep them from ‘deviation’. Strange Skies over East Berlin follows Agent Herring, an ex-CIA American undercover in the Stasi, who is helping certain desperate citizens to flee to the West.
