A tyrannical regime builds a monstrous concrete slab that severs a city - the Berlin Wall. On the Western side, it's a hated symbol of a bitter Cold War, on the East, a deadly blockade to freedom. The Berlin Wall: Escape To Freedom reveals the stories of courageous East Germans who dared to challenge the authorities and the Berlin Wall in their bid for freedom. From tunnelling under the Wall, to smuggling refugees in a car's trunk, to flights over the Wall, uncover the details of sensational escape stories. It takes us into the heart of the Death Strip - a lethal zone next to the Wall filled with barbed wire, mines, attack dogs, tank traps and armed guards - and shows us how authorities learned from each escape to make the Wall stronger and harder to beat. Finally, the Wall that was strengthened over 28 years was breached in one unbelievable night, while signs of the divisions of generations past still lingers on today. - Director:

A Film on the Art, Life & Times of Tom of Finland (1920-1991) Tom of Finland is one of the gay world's few authentic icons. His drawings have had an enormous influence on gay identity - not only on the visual appearance of gay people, but also on their attitudes and self-understanding. Daddy and the Muscle Academy is the only film ever made about Tom of Finland. The film uses a variety of visual elements, including a retrospective of Tom's drawings, Tom of Finland in his own words, and Tom's men and their stories. Daddy and the Muscle Academy shows how Tom of Finland's work passed from being the private fantasies of a man in Europe to underground images that shaped a generation's ideas of how a gay man could look and act. Tom's work is a blueprint for the appearance and attitudes of gay men in the latter part of the 20th century. Tom's ultimate leather men are known and seen all over the world. - Director:
