The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked a powerful turning point in the history of the Cold War and offered prospects for a reunified Germany. It also began a new chapter in the life of the wall itself. Over the past three decades, this powerful symbol of freedom has migrated piece-by-piece, all over the world. In The American Sector, filmmakers Courtney Stephens (Terra Femme) and Pacho Velez (Manakamana) travel across the United States to seek out these fragments of history, and find themselves encountering all walks of life along the way.
