The American Sector

The American Sector takes viewers on a fractured road trip, encountering panels of The Berlin Wall that have been installed as public monuments throughout the United States. Visiting over forty sites, the film weaves together the stories people tell about these imported monoliths, capturing how artifacts bond the past and the present in what The New Yorker calls “a fascinating range of happenstance conversations from which a grand vision of historical resonance and political consciousness emerges,” and one of “The Best Films of 2020.”
