A Palace for Berlin and the World?

This documentary tells the very German story behind the Humboldt Forum, a museum built as a replica of Berlin's demolished Royal Palace. On a site where the Kaiser once lived and communist East Germany's Palace of the Republic later stood, the reconstruction sparked years of controversy. The film weighs memory, identity and politics in the contested space at the city's heart. It is a thoughtful look at how a nation rebuilds and argues over its past.
