My Wonderful West Berlin

The newest addition to Jochen Hick's Berlin trilogy about gay life in Germany's capital city - with many current political references. The film explores the roots and the fascination of a city that is still a dream destination and refuge for many gay men from all over the world. Jochen Hick interviews local luminaries such as Romy Haag, Rosa von Praunheim, Ades Zabel and Udo Walz. He and they talk their lives and the struggles they've endured. From the Homosexual Action West Berlin (HAW) to the AIDS shock of the 1980s. "There is something radiant and very touching about the openness and honesty of those interviewed." (Toby Ashraf - sissymag.de) "So full of original material worth seeing that it may already be called a standard work." (epd-film.com)
