    THE WALL - A WORLD DIVIDED looks inside the revolution that swept across Europe with the November 1989 opening of the Berlin Wall to understand how this remarkable event helped end the Cold War without a shot being fired. The documentary explores the ordinary people caught up in politics, as well as the political leaders, to reveal the tense moments surrounding the unexpected series of events that resulted in a new Europe in less than a year.
