Life Behind Bars

After the collapse of the GDR in 1990, the filmmaker Sibylle Schönemann made this documentary about her imprisonment by the East German secret police (Stasi) and eventual expatriation from the GDR. In a series of fascinating encounters, she tracks down and interviews the people who put and kept her behind bars, from her Stasi interrogator to the prison warders. Part of Glasgow Film Festival
