ABOUT THE FILM

THE SPIES AMONG US is a rare look into the inner workings of a data-driven surveillance state run by one of the most feared secret police forces the world has ever known – East Germany’s Stasi.

A personal investigation into family secrets by Peter Keup, a Stasi victim-turned-historian, takes a turn when he contacts the men who ran the system. These are the first dialogues between Stasi officers and a victim ever recorded on film.

Through these encounters a terrifying mosaic is built of the lengths people go to maintain power in a dictatorship, as well as the indomitable human spirit that seeks truth and self-determination.

Presented as part of the 5th annual Twin Cities German Film Festival, produced by the Germanic-American Institute in partnership with the Goethe-Institut.

Tickets: $12 at the door • $14 w/online fee
