The first local news organization in the country to have a great level of access to film and report in East Germany, Paul Douglas accompanied by his father (a native German) and a KARE-TV photographer examine life in East Germany in this six part series aired in 1988. Paul’s father visits the site of his boyhood home, interviews with East German citizens (all interviews and shots were done with an East German present), and looks at how meteorology is reported on state run television. Interviewees do not see a lot of hope in the Berlin wall coming down, a concept that became reality about a year later.
