Inga, Winnie, Henning & Burkhard were born in East-Germany, in the former GDR. They paint the picture of their youths in a country that no longer exists, the social principles of that society, the massive protests in the Autumn of 1989 and the complex feelings towards the fall of the Berlin wall. Did this day really mark the end of German history? With a special role for: bananas.

Part 1 of 2

In Millennial History, we relive recent history through the eyes of millennials who were there when it happened. In interviews with musical journalist Andrea Voets, they unpack their ‘deep story’: the reality as they experienced it as children. Eight episodes take us to the murder of anti-mafia judge Falcone in Sicily, the unwanted ‘Children of the Decree’ of Ceausescu in Romania, The Troubles in Northern Ireland and change and unification in East Germany. The music has been offered by sixty bands from these four places. Hundreds of layers of sound & music enable bold and meaningful conversations.
