Described by critics as a “multi-perspective mosaic” (Berliner Zeitung) and as “an oratory in which the voices of eyewitnesses resonate together” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), “Berlin 1945” reconstructs with stunning, never-before-seen archival footage the most fateful year of the metropolis through the eyes of those who lived through it: the German population and the Allied soldiers.

Berlin 1945 is produced by zero one film in co-production with bauderfilm, Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb), in cooperation with Arte, funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg. Autentic Distribution is in charge of the worldwide distribution of the docuseries, which comes as a 3×50’ series, a 2×90’ series and a 1×180’ special.
