Tunnel, Der

Der Tunnel (English: The Tunnel) is a 2001 film by German director Roland Suso Richter that is loosely based on a true story about an expanding group of people who dug a tunnel in Berlin in the early 1960's to get friends and family from the East Germany to West Germany. Dozens of such tunnels have been dug, but this one became known because, in order to get financial support, the group decided to let US broadcasting company NBC film them for a documentary.
