RISE OF THE BERLIN WALL - PAGE 2


On the morning of August 13, 1965, the citizens of Berlin woke to a chorus of pneumatic drills and tanks, only to discover that their capital had been physically divided by a barbed wire fence. While the majority of these Berliners slept peacefully the night before, budding Reuters journalist Adam Kellet-Long had been fervently writing all night, breaking one of the biggest stories of political oppression in world history -- the rise of the Berlin Wall. On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the wall, American Heroes Channel (AHC) presents RISE OF THE BERLIN WALL, an hour-long special that unveils the story of a game of bluff and consequence between two of the world's most powerful political systems. Premiering Thursday, November 6 at 10/9c, RISE OF THE BERLIN WALL follows Kellet-Long's actions through the night of August 12, 1965, starting from the initial tip-off he received from Berlin officials, and ultimately breaking this story to the western world.
