The fall of the Berlin wall was a momentous event in the history of Western Europe, after the great euphoria, when anything seemed possible there was perhaps a greater disillusionment... but what has happened since? It’s time for a truthful appraisal of what the city was and has become. Berlin’s strength is as a city of contradictions, a melting pot of cultures, history and energy. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall, 24hBerlin is a multi-media event that explores and celebrates the changing of the past to present by delving into the lives of a handful of the inhabitants in one of Europe’s most loved metropolis over a 24hr time period. One whole day in the life of a city and its citizens from 6am till 6am the next morning.
