Night Crossing

"The East German border: 836 miles of barbed-wire walls, automated machine guns, armed guards, and deadly land mines. On September 15, 1979 two families tried to cross it."

Two men want to escape from East Germany (under Communist rule) but they will only go if they can take their families with them. Based on a true story.
