Short film Wim Wenders: The Keys to Freedom
There are places where history was written – and yet nobody knows about them! To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, award-winning director Wim Wenders (Wings of desire, Paris-Texas, Perfect Days, etc.) has shot a short film that takes us to the most secret place in Europe at that time: a map room in a school in Reims, France, which served as a war room for the Allies. On May 7, 1945, Nazi Germany surrendered there and the world war ended. Today, "The Keys to Freedom" are more than just a museum piece. The question is how we use them today. Because freedom cannot be taken for granted, you have to do something for it. Germany: #WeInvestInFreedom
