Hop on the train to a relaxing day in the Berlin sun as the duo learn more about how the film came about, go through the early histories of a crew of young German filmmakers who would become Hollywood titans, marvel at the film’s docu-drama prowess in capturing Weimar Era Germany, discover the lives and aftermath of participants on screen and off, and finally discuss the many ways the film has been influential to this very day.
PLUS: A great mystery is solved with the help of Werner Herzog!
