Miracle of Leipzig

1989年的莱比锡：成千上万的东德人涌向街头。他们要求更多的自由，民权和民主！！人们对镇压公民的国家的反抗正在渐渐升温，对一个教唆人民互相监视彼此的国家进行反抗。

那个在莱比锡街头的秋天被永远记入了史册。那是一段国家官员滥用暴力和人民克服恐惧的历史。那是一段来自无用大众用自己的勇气改变世界，标志着东德彻底终结的故事。这是莱比锡的奇迹。

2009年的秋天是莱比锡和平革命的20周年纪念。1989年9月，在莱比锡的圣尼古拉斯教堂里，人们祈祷和平。在短短的一周之内发展成为了强有力的星期一游行运动，人民要求更多的自由，要求改革，要求东德的自由选举。这场和平的运动却差点以悲剧终结。

在MDR、ARTE 和BROADVIEW TV的协助下，导演Sebastian Dehnhardt(国际艾美奖、德国电视奖得主)和导演Matthias Schmidt（Grimme Preis得主）在将近90分钟的高清影片《莱比锡的奇迹》中，重新描绘了发生1989年10月的那段历史。这次东德冲突双方的目击者，和莱比锡的公民，向你再现在这几个具有重要意义的一周里，到底发生了什么。他们向你描述其中的恐惧与希望、勇气与失落，矛盾与团结。


Leipzig in the autumn of 1989: thousands of East Germans take to the streets. They are demanding more freedom, civil rights, democracy! The people are rising up in protest against a state which suppresses its own citizens, incites people to spy on each other and keeps them under constant surveillance.

This autumn history is written on the streets of Leipzig. It is the story of party officials prepared to resort to violence and of people who overcome their fears. It is the story of nameless individuals whose courage changes the world and marks the beginning of the end of the East German state - and of the entire Eastern block. It is the story of the "Miracle of Leipzig".

Autumn 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the peaceful revolution of Leipzig. What began in September 1989 in St Nicholas' church in Leipzig as prayers for peace develops within just a few weeks into the immensely powerful Monday demonstrations, calling for more freedom, reforms and free elections in the German Democratic Republic - though this revolution very nearly ended in catastrophe.

In association with MDR, ARTE and BROADVIEW TV, the award-winning director Sebastian Dehnhardt (International Emmy Award, Deutscher Fernsehpreis) and Matthias Schmidt (Grimme Preis) reconstruct the dramatic events of October 1989 in the 90-minute HD prime-time documentary "The Miracle of Leipzig". Eye-witnesses from both sides of the conflict, along with citizens of Leipzig, explain how they experienced these decisive weeks. They describe fears and hopes, courage and despair, conflicts and solidarity.
