- Synopsis
- In the late 1950s and early 1960s, ITN filmed a series of news items abroad called ‘Roving Report’; most remain unseen since their initial broadcast. This collection brings together seven films reporting from Berlin and Germany at the height of the Cold War Crisis. A divided city and nation at the frontline, tensions were high as huge contrasts in living standards developed, culminating with the construction of the Berlin Wall.
