Die Firma - Das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit plot

"Stasi East Germany's Secret Police"

The documentary shows how the East German secret police kept an eye on everything and everyone during the Cold War. In 1953 the inhabitants of East Germany revolted against the government. Although this revolt was put down with heavy military force, policymakers were well aware from that moment on. The Stasi mainly wanted to completely control its own population. Gierke shows which methods and instruments the service used: from simple wiretapping to sneaky executions of enemies of the state.
