Matt Frei explores the unique city of Berlin, an artificial metropolis - one that has not grown organically, but always been contrived and redefined. Throughout its history it has been a laboratory of human behaviour, thought and art. What began as a provincial town in the 17th century on a central European marsh became the very image of the messy development of human-kind during the 20th century. It is a place whose history we all feel caught up in, in some way. Even if we have never visited, we all feel touched by events that have taken place there because they are the universal stories of our time.
Matt Frei is the BBC's Washington correspondent. Born in Germany, he was sent by the BBC to Berlin in 1989 to report on the fall of the Wall. Now, 20 years later, he returns to take us on a fascinating journey through Berlin's history to reveal the true spirit of the city. Over three hour-long documentaries he explains this incredible city's ideas, buildings and people.
