Locked-Up Time

Streaming video - 1990

After documentary filmmaker Sibylle Schönemann applied to leave the GDR and go to West Germany, in 1984 she was arrested by the Stasi and imprisoned for the alleged crime of “interfering with state activities.” One year later, she was released to West Germany after their government bought her freedom. A few months after the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, Schönemann returned to the East to confront the people responsible for her arrest and imprisonment: fellow workers, prison guards, a judge, and members of the Stasi. Not all of them were willing to talk.
