Tunnel 57: The Right Thing To Do

This documentary tells the story of the filmmaker’s father and his involvement in a 1964 mission that helped individuals escape from East Germany to West Germany during the Cold War. Through archival references, historical sources, and personal reflection, the film explores the risks faced by those involved, the broader context of the Berlin Wall, and the moral choices made by ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
