Op deze tour laten we zien wanneer en hoe de muur is gebouwd en hoe deze weer is gevallen. We fietsen langs de route waar de Berlijnse muur ooit heeft gestaan, en komen voorbij aan enkele plekken waar de muur nog steeds zichtbaar is.
Je ontdekt hoe de DDR regering hun burgers onder controle wilde houden, de enorme invloed van de geheime politie, de wanhopige pogingen om te vluchten naar het Westen en natuurlijk de opkomst van de spanningen tussen het Oosten en het Westen.
