Ballon | Balloon (dir. Michael Herbig, 2018)

Based on a true story of two families’ attempt to escape East Germany in 1970 via air. Their amateur-built hot air balloon and meticulous planning is surely inspirational, but were they covert enough to evade the ever watchful Stasi? Are they even ready to leave their entire lives behind on this gamble? Winner of the Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the 2019 Washington DC Filmfest. 125 min.

Free Admission. All films shown with English subtitles.
