Grasshopper Film has taken North American distribution rights to Courtney Stephens and Pacho Velez‘s Berlinale 2020 documentary The American Sector, produced by Asterlight.
The American Sector takes viewers on a road trip around the U.S. to where sections of the Berlin Wall are stored or displayed, thirty years after its iconic fall.
Joe Poletto, founder of Asterlight, said: “I think this film has a special resonance for those who remember or want to explore the fall of the Berlin Wall. ‘The American Sector’ is a meditative film that gives people a chance to really stop and think about the meaning of monuments, context, history, and what historical artefacts mean to us decades after an event.”
