description: "Hans-Christian Ströbele, born in 1939, talks about his career as a lawyer and politician. He came to Berlin in the 1960’s and experienced a political awakening. He became politically active in the Socialist Lawyers' Collective and elsewhere before eventually being elected to the German Bundestag four times in a row for Bündnis 90/die Grünen (the German Green party). In the interview, he talks about parliamentary democracy, reunification and the German foreign mission in Afghanistan, among other things."

Germany's official reunification on 3rd October 1990 was the final act of a broad democratic awakening in the GDR, which saw mass mobilisations in Leipzig, East Berlin and elsewhere. The date also marked the end of the division of Berlin. Thirty years later, a video project by Berlin artist Sonya Schönberger introduces people who are working for democracy in Berlin today.
