The CPH: DOX - Copenhagen International Documentary Festival - opens on Wednesday, the 5th, its 12th edition with the 1989 exhibition of Danish filmmaker Anders Østergaard, a film that goes back to the summer of 1989, when The newly-appointed Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Németh decided to open the border with Austria for a few days, setting in motion an avalanche that would months later crush the Berlin Wall and hasten the collapse of the Soviet bloc.
