The Curtain and the Wall A Modern Journey Along Europe's Cold War Border

An epic journey across 5,000 kilometers and through eight decades, to tell a new story about the old Cold War fault lines.

But with tensions once again rising, the past has much to tell us about our present. Here Timothy Phillips undertakes a fascinating journey along the full length of the former Iron Curtain, from the Arctic Circle to Turkey's eastern border, to meet the people who bore witness to this tumultuous era and those who continue to live in its shadow.
