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.

A tense, family-centered escape thriller grounded in historical reality, balancing the warmth of familial bonds against the paranoia and danger of crossing a militarized border.

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.
