    Apart from 'The Lives of Others', which I have, are there any other films, in any language, about the Stasi? I have just read 'Stasiland' by Anna Funder (thoroughly recommended) and it has piqued my interest.

    Sprechen Sie Deutsch? There are a few German films & documentaries about them, natürlich.



    Allein gegen die Stasi oder Das teuerste Flugblatt der Welt (2008) (TV)

    Alone against the Stasi or the most expensive leaflet in the world (Documentary)



    Die Wahrheit über die Stasi (1992)

    The truth about the Stasi (Drama)



    There was also that Disney drama about the family who built a balloon and floated over the wall

    Thanks Steve. Sadly I dim siarad Deutsch, but hopefully there would be subs. No luck at Amazon.de but I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'm in no rush.

    The documentary series 'The secret Life of the Berlin Wall' wasn't directly about the Stasi but it was an excellent impressionistic series. Not sure if it's available on dvd or not, but some of it, at least, is on utube at the moment.
