Capital B - Wem gehört Berlin?

Capital B tells the exciting and entertaining story of how Berlin became what it is today, after the fall of the Wall and via many detours. A hip metropolis that has attracted artists, freedom-seekers and young party-goers from all over the world for three decades. But the path to get here was by no means predetermined. Capital B also tells the story of how Berlin's citizens have been fighting against the sell-out of their city, their displacement and against Berlin suffering the same fate as London, New York and Paris before it. In the five episodes, we experience greed, corruption, the emergence of various youth and subcultures in the 90s and 00s, the fight for housing, crime, and the rise and fall of greedy politicians. EPISODE 1: The period covered by the story is 1989-1995. In November 1989, the Berlin Wall has barely fallen before the battles begin for the future of the city, which has just been divided, and for the distribution of the newly created spaces and opportunities. Vain provincial politicians, business-minded real estate developers and battle-hardened squatters from the West, but also freedom-seeking young techno pioneers from East and West. They all try to seize the moment and stake their claims between wasteland, dilapidated old buildings and abandoned industrial sites of a defunct country. For the subculture, it is a brief summer of anarchy, when everything seems possible, when utopia and chaos are close together. But the old power elites of West Berlin put an end to it in a major police operation. The dream is over.
