Query: The Stasi Next Door

This superlative film shows the infiltration of the STASI (Secret State Police) into the everyday lives of all East Germans. I have had some personal contact with former Stasi Agents and dicussions about what this period in German history was like. The film comes the closest to showing the absolute hegemony and terror that this agency held over all East Germans, from the bricklayer to the space scientist. I strongly recommend it, in German (especially) or in English!For those of you who see the creeping loss of liberty elsewhere, there are many lessons here.
