Berliners Escape To West
Shots of patrolling East German border guards intercut with East Germans running through barbed wire towards freedom. A young woman briefly gets tangled in barbed wire as she flees. Later, looking relieved, she walks with her friends. On an East German watchtower, a very young soldier clutches his rifle. West Berliners carry a man shot while crossing.
