For this assignment I watched the movie "Goodbye Lenin!". In the movie, the main character's mother is a supporter of the ruling Socialist Unity Party of Grermany. She has a heart attack and goes into a coma. Acht months later, when she woke up, the Berlin wall had been destroyed. However, she was still at risk for having another heart attack, so they couldn't tell her anything that might shock her. They had to keep the fact that the Berlin wall had been torn down a secret. It was a very interesting movie and i don't want to give away too much because i definitely recommend watching it for yourself. Here's a trailer:
