Out in East Berlin - Documentary Confirmed

Unlike in the Federal Republic, by 1968 homosexuality was already de-criminalised in the German Democratic Republic’s penal code. But the ‘workers’ and farmers’ state’ did not exactly welcome its gay and lesbian citizens with open arms; their sexuality was taboo and they were often marginalised from public life. Thirteen moving biographies depict the private and political developments which led to opposition against the state apparatus.
