Berlin: The Power, Problems and Future of Germany's Capital

Berlin is one of Europe’s most powerful cities — but Germany is in the middle of a profound economic and political transition. This film explores Berlin’s history, its contradictions, and what the city tells us about Germany today. From Prussia, Napoleon and the destruction of World War II to East Germany, reunification and modern Alexanderplatz, Berlin has repeatedly reinvented itself. But today Germany faces another turning point: declining manufacturing, infrastructure under-investment, high energy costs, the legacy of Russian gas dependence, and a massive new investment program intended to modernize the country. I walk through Berlin to ask a larger question: where does Germany go next? #Berlin #Germany #GermanEconomy #BerlinHistory #EuropeDecoded
