29 years after the Wall fell: Mark Reeder on his memories of a divided city

Nov. 9, 1989 was a historical turning point. This week,
we look back and forward, bringing you different perspectives on
the 29th anniversary of the fall of the
Wall.


Mark Reeder describes his life like a ball in a pinball machine:
“I kind of met one person and then it ricocheted onto another,
and that’s how I kind of made my career.”


Most of that career was made in Berlin, where he says West Berlin
was the “crazy, mad place where I lived” and East Berlin was the
“crazy, mad place that I visited.” He joins us to talk about his
memories of a divided city, the documentary “B-Movie,” the label
he founded, and his latest projects.
