Into the Zone - Never Mind the Stasi
Transcript
Pushkin. The place is East Berlin, the year nineteen eighty three. We're in an interrogation room in the offices of the Ministry of State Security known as the Stasi. There's a filing cabinet, a dirty neck curtain at the window, a view outside of gray concrete blocks. In the middle of the room. There's a cheap wood veneered desk. On it as a phone, an intercombox with an array of cool buttons, and a big old fashioned reel to reel tape recorder.
