In the shadow of the Berlin Wall: 30 years on, is its presence still felt?

Description

For 28 years the city of Berlin was divided by a wall. A wall which separated Communist East Germany from the West. But in 1989 a rapid chain of events in other former Soviet countries saw the iron cutrain begin to buckle and then in the November of that year within a matter of just five days the Berlin Wall started crumbling making for one of the most famous scenes in recent history.
