Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The Iron Curtain became the metaphor for the division of Europe after World War II in the wake of Sir Winston Churchill’s speech on 5 March 1946, delivered at the American Fulton. Countries that had found themselves in the Soviet sphere of interest deployed mine fields along their Western borders, they built walls, stretched wire fences in order to hermetically lock up their citizens in the face of capitalist states regarded as degenerate and exploitative by the Communist–Stalinist ideology. Citizens of the socialist camp became prisoners of their own countries and the shadow of the Iron Curtain extended over millions of people. Hundreds of thousands tried to release themselves from the artificial prison of the Communist regime even risking their lives. The film presents the history of the Iron Curtain from its erection to its dismantling started in Hungary in 1989.
